Q: about reformat disk where Linux and Window coexist

[Dabin Wang]

Messages are in the following:
1. Display partition Information:
1   A    PRI DOS   6722   FAT32   69%
2           NON-DOS    24                %
3            EXT DOS   3000            31%

2. When I delete Extended DOS Partition:

Message: delete logical DOS drive in Extended DOS Partition

3. So I have delete logical drive first, but I got the message: no 
logical drives defined


How to do that?
