do u want to remove the linux compl;etely form ur system
then in that case

delete all the partitions using

fdisk /dev/hda

use this fdisk carefully and do not end up deleting the other partitions

and then make the new partion as required

or if u want to only partion ur linux(root) partiton then u can do that by

mke2fs /dev/hda9

regards
