Can't you just remove the partition?

You didn't tell whether the Linux and Win7 were on the same hard drive or what the installation order was but it would seem you could just remove the Linux partition.

in the Linux forum here; http://forums.cnet.com/linux-forum/?tag=contentMain;contentBody

There may be a problem with the boot menu. I know with dual boot Windows, we install the older Windows first, then the newer, (whether on a different partition or on a different drive it doesn't matter), and the newer windows over-writes the boot file on the older Windows root directory to create the dual boot menu you see.

I don't know if Linux does that. I have heard mention many times of GRUB, but I have no knowledge of it.

The risk is, if the boot file is on the Linux partition/drive and you delete that, then Windows will become unbootable. It is often difficult to recover from that.

So, repost in the Linux forum and see what the experts there say.

Good luck.

Mark
