[ILUG] [OT] - Partition Problems

Hi again folks,
I know it is a bit OT, but my goal is to get linux re-installed !

On my home system I have a 30gig IDE disk which I originally partitioned as
8 gigs for windows and 22 gigs for linux. ;)

Now that I finally got a firewire card, I need more space on the windows
partition for stuff from my dvc. (Surprise Surprise).

As my linux partition was only for learning, I decided in my wisdom to
simply delete the linux partition and start again by resizing the win
partition to be about 15 gigs or so. Problem - I managed to delete the
partition (somehow)using the dos/win fdisk, but now fdisk wont delete the
extended partition, 'cos "logical drives exist". - If I try to view logical
drives, it tells me there are none !

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Declan
