Why do you neeed to remove it. You could just not mount in Linux and
just let the Windows 2000 reformat it. 

THe real problem is that it is not the first partition on the disk.
Windows likes to be in the first partition on the disk.

Using partition magic to move all the partitions over may or may  not
work.
