Are you wanting to remove the OS? If not, just use the built-in partition manager. Its not that bad.

Make sure to write over it to remove the ghost layers of data!

If your removing the OS, just boot up a temporary running of Linux (Ubuntu will work fine) of a CD or USB stick and manage the partitions with it to delete them. You don't want to delete the Windows partition while your running Windows -_-
