Use power quest partionmagic(for Dos), enable boot from cd option and use the pmagic executable file in dos mode,then you can view all of your windows based drives (NTFS,FAT-32 partions) now you delete the partion and again create it by the help of that program.format it as unix partion

Most Unix and Linux installers will provide you with a nice GUI interface that will let you repartition and reformat the drive as part of the install process. I'd give you more details, but Sun's Solaris, IBM's AIX, HP/UX, the various *BSD Unixes, and all the Linux distros (Fedora, RHEL, Debian, Suse, etc) have different details.

If you can't figure this out you don't need to be running a unix OS.
