any way to uninstall / clear up my linux partitions?

had some problems installing mandrake 9.1 and repartitioning my HD and in the end i have like 4 different linux options next to winxp when i boot ...
so i just wanna reformat that part of the partition or clean it up somehow and install again from scratch...

thx :)

You're probably seeing Lilo, the boot manager Mandrake installs by default. To get rid of it, boot off your XP CD, choose Recovery Console and type fixmbr. The next time you install Mandrake (or any other distro for that matter), choose to format the partition and it should clear away anything on it.
