[plug] [OT] Getting rid of ext3 partitions from Windows

[Mark Nold]

Hi all,

An embarassing question...

I used to dual boot on my laptop with RH7.2 and Win98, but mostly using
Win98 for work.

The Win98 got trashed in a bizaar VB related incident and i had to reinstall
Win98 asap so i ended up doing a fdisk /mbr and made it single boot and got
on with the job.

Now i have the linux ext3 partitions sitting in my extended partition and i
can't recover the space via Win98's fdisk, or via Partition Magic (V4).

Any ideas on tools / methods available to kill a ext3 partition from Win98?
Is there a GPL'd (or other free tool) for manipulating partitions under
windows... as i'll eventually be putting Linux and KDE 3 back on this baby.

PS: Now thinking about it more i suppose i could boot of the RH cd, and use
fdisk from there...
