You only need to uninstall grub or lilo, usually by running "fdisk /mbr" from MsDOS. Then, you may reformat the linux partition to reclaim that space, or leave it there hidden just in case you want it one day ;-)
Silly me I forgot you can probably use a boot disk and keep the *nix. As I remember there is a backup mbr you can use from *nix to restore. Then make the boot disk with the rescue program on CD 1.
Lilo does make a backup of the mbr or other boot sectors it overwrites; but grub doesn't. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
