I have seen a few answers to this question, but none seem to address what I see
as the actual problem, so I'll take a stab at it. The partitions have already
been deleted, according to the posting, so the question of DOS or Linux fdisk
to delete the Linux partitions is academic. The problem seems
DOS/Win9X fdisk can not delete non-DOS partitions (such as Linux
partitions) when they are inside an extended partition, and will then
also refuse to delete the extended partition itself in that case.
If you still have a Linux boot floppy around with Linux fdisk or cfdisk
on it, that will do it. O

its reccomended you use the linux fdisk to work with linux
partitions.. but you can still do it with dos fdisk .. make sure to delete
any logical drives before deleting the extended partition.
if possible, use partition magic...makes life easier :)
