You need a program that manages partitions.
Try this one:
http://partitionlogic.org.uk/
Easy, simply right click "my computer", select "manage", then select "disk management", when the window opens you’ll see all your partitions. Now simply high light the linux partition, right click and select delete. Then create a new partition and format it. To repair your mbr if a boot loader was installed, simply boot to your windows cd and run the repair console. Once you’re at the command line type this and press enter:
fixmbr
Do this only if a boot loader was installed like grub, if not then your ok.
