Hello Gram,

I was once a dual-booter with Win2000 and Mandrake (I know this is a RH
group...but still...). I got rid of my MD partitions using the Win2000
Disk Manager that is listed under Computer Management (Control Panel).
Just select the "unknown" partitions, right-click and format. After that's
done, just create a new partition using the same tool and you'll have a
nice clean Win2000 partition to use for storage or whatever you want.
Worked great for me.

Hope this helps!
Good Luck :)

Allen
