Windows doesn't like Linux - if you tell it to delete all the partitions, and make its own, it'll happily do so. In other words, every trace of Linux (even GRUB) will be gone with the instructions you replied to. :)

    "For then there will be great distress, unequaled
    from the beginning of the world until now—and never
    to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut
    short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the
    elect those days will be shortened."
