Do you already have Windows on your computer? If not, just insert the windows install disk and it'll reformat for you. If you run windows and linux, boot into windows and delete the linux partition (with a program like partition magic). Boot into the windows disk and run "Repair" there. It will set your MBR to point to windows.
