Ctrl_Alt-F1 and log in as root, or open a terminal and run "su -" to
become root. One thing to keep in mind - after you remove the Linux
partitions, you will also lose the GRUB boot loader.
If Linux is the only OS on the disk, and you want to wipe the
information off the disk, you may want to look at DBAN.
