Format the Linux partitions. If you are Dualbooting you just do the same and it will remove GRUB and Automatically go into windowa

Use a partition manager, like partition magic.

partition magic says it wont change anything because i partitioned my hard drive with something else. but all i did was install linux.

Try downloading Hiren's BootCD, burning it to a cd and using the version of partition magic that comes on it.

That sounds about right, yeah.
Last version was a bit smaller even, but due to addded content, that size should be right.

Probably. Did you just delete the partitions, or did you re/partition them?
As for grub being a problem, if you insert your windows cd at boot, you can use it to repair your MBR and/or use bootfix to get rid of grub.
