Diane:
First, remove the Linux partitions using a partition manager such as Partition
Magic. Second, either create another Windows partition or expand your present
partition in the reclaimed space. This can be also done with Partition Magic,
although you could use Microsoft's fdisk. Finally, assuming you installed the
boot loader, run fdisk /mbr to restore the master boot record and you should
be good to go.

Incidentally, Mandrake is now in version 9.1, and 9.2 will be out in late
September. The differences between the current version and 8.0 (which came
out in April, 2001 are huge, particularly in terms of user-friendliness and
hardware recognition.
