    DBAN: http://dban.sourceforge.net/features.html

    Download the .iso and burn a bootable CD, or there is a floppy version.

    You can then fdisk and format with your Windows disk, or a W98 boot disk from Bootdisk.com.

    Here's another .iso with DBAN and some other cool and useful tools:

    With any LINUX install on an x86 system, you may have to do a 'format /MBR' to remove the LINUX boot record from the hd before you can boot Windows properly.
