Help!!Uninstalling Linux with Sata HD


Sorry guys but Linux is too hard for me, id like to go back to windows. I tried booting up using my slackware9.1 cd and used fdisk then I delete all partitions wrote the changes and exited. Now when I run win xp setup it wont detect any HD installed!! I tried doing a low level format in my Raid bios options but that didnt help either, I tried fdisk /mbr from dos and fdisk only detects my drive as 22GB when it is a 160 GB sata barracuda. please help!!!!!!!! this is really frustration I can't afford to let this HD be destroyed

sounds like a windows problem, and not a linux one (just to be safe, can linux detect your hard drive?)
