Login to the system as root and type /sbin/lilo -u to uninstall LILO from the MBR. Now, type /sbin/fdisk /dev/hda and, using the 'd' command, delete all of your Linux partitions one by one. Then, write the new partition table with the 'w' command. Repeat the fdisk procedure for other devices if you have other partitions on other physical volumes. When you're completely done, reboot and you'll be penguin-free (shudder)...

Use Diskdrake to destroy Linux partitions and to resize Windows ones (if you have). Click on DONE and reboot. Then, if you have it, boot Windows. From DOS or a terminal type: fdisk /mbr. This will remove LiLo or GRUB... Post scriptum: Why do you want to remove Linux?
