What other os is this? Which Linux is this?
General process for uninstalling Linux:
Delete partitions - with Linux fdisk or Windows Control Panel
Delete bootloader - Some linuxes have an uninstall option, or run these commands from their boot disks:
'fdisk /mbr' for Win9x on DOS bootdisk
'fixmbr' for 2k or xp from bootcd.

Killing the partitions on which Linux has been installed will definitely remove it from your system, but I would ask: Have you at least given Linux a fair chance? -- J.W.
