Dual Boot 1

[TazzMann]

I set up a machine with both win98 on one partition, and then 2000 Advanced Server on another partition. I now want to have Advanced Server on one large partition, however, I have not been able to find a way to kill the old NTFS Partition. I can delete the FAT32 Partition, but fdisk shows the NTFS Partition as an extended partition with a logical drive. When I try to delete the logical drive, it says that there are no logical drives defined. So then I tried to delete the extended DOS partition and it says that it can't 'cause there is a logical drive defined.
I know that this is due to the NTFS File system, but how can I re-partition the ENTIRE drive to one large partition and then format it to NTFS?

Thanks in advance! Tazzmann

This is a quirk of NTFS which Ihave run in to a few times. I had to start the installation of NT/2K, tell it to let me select the partitions, then when presented with the screen to select where to install I would first delete all the old partitions.
