Ok even I haven't tried this but have an obscure idea of doing it.
First enter linux and delete all the partitions but in order that wind$ is detected next time you ll have to remove the entry of boot loader back to windows. In case you use lilo then the code for removing it is

lilo -u

In case you mess up keep a wind$ boot disk in handy. So that you can do an entry in the MBR by

fixmbr

You can easily use the Parted Magic LiveCD to format your Linux partitions and use a Windows boot disk or Windows installation disk to reinstall the Windows bootloader. The SuperGRUB LiveCD should also work to fix the bootloader.

Hope it all goes well for you.

I would also recommend the Partition Magic Live CD.

It should also then allow you to merge the unused space in order to extend your existing Windows partition, if you so desire.
