Cannot remove EXT3 partition.
 
Hi there,

I flirted with Mandrake Linux for a while and decided that it's not for me as a desktop OS and will be moving back to the dark side. :) I am trying to remove my EXT3 partitions using Partition Magic Pro 7 in Windows XP. I get error 510: Unsupported file system.

Sure enough, I look on Powerquest's knowledge base and they do not support Ext3.

So, my question is how do I remove my mandrake partitions? I have wiped the MBR record using FIXMBR from the WinXP CD, effectively FDISK /MBR in DOS.

I just need to remove the linux partitions without affecting my Windows partitions. Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Mark.

What about MS fdisk? it should be listed as a Non-DOS partition type.
