Uninstalling Linux from dual boot

Linux uses neither NTFS nor Fat kinda partitions for its place in the hard disk so the space occupied by linux remains untouched by the windows.To uninstall Linux from a harddisk that also holds windows xp or any other OS from windows,follow these simple steps.
If you have windows XP installed:
-Get into your Windows XP installation.
-Open the run command box and type "Diskmgmt.msc" and press enter or right click MyComputer click on manage and choose disk management.
-Right click the Linux partition (or sometime it says as unused or kinda different partition) and delete it.
-Now restart the system with a win XP bootable CD and get into recovery console by pressing 'R'.
-Choose your current Win XP(usually by pressing 1) and type 'FIXMBR'.This would fix the master boot record.
-Now you can restart and your OS will be fine.Go to Disk Management again and partition the unused space.

If your installed windows is corrupt:

Still you can get into the recovery console and use the fix mbr tool.Now you can get the unused partition in the list of partition while re-installing windows.
