Ok, I set up my machine to dual boot Windows XP and Red Hat 7.2. I dont believe the red hat is on the MBR (I have to use a boot up floppy when I want to boot into Red Hat).

I have XP installed on one physical drive and red hat installed on another physical drive.

If I'm in XP, can I format the other physical drive that has red hat partitions back to windows partitions (back to NTFS or FAT)? How do I do this so I can get linux off my computer and have my other physical hard drive formatted and available under XP.
 
Right click on "My Computer" and select "Manage". Expand the Storage Tree, and Select Disk Management. From within Disk Management, you can delete the Linux
partition, and repartition the Disk, and then Format the partition......
