Microsoft's fdisk is a crippled little beast that only understands 
Microsoft partitions.  There are lots of things it can't delete.  I 
especially like when it tells you that you can't delete an extended 
partition because there are logical drives inside it, and then tells 
you that there are no logical drives defined. 

To do what you're trying to do, you could use Caldera DR-DOS, which is
much smarter.  You might also be able to run the Red Hat installer and
use fdisk to delete all existing 82/83 partitions and save changes, then
abort the install.  I also sometimes do this by booting to an OpenBSD 
disk, which has quite powerful disk utilities at its disposal, and 
doesn't try to second-guess me.
