Stupid question about partition

Ok, i'm a software guy and don't know too much about this hardware stuff.  I have a computer with a 40GB drive.  I partitioned it in half and installed Windows 2000 on one half with the intention of installing Linux on the 2nd partition.  Well, I decided against it and would like to make that 2nd unformatted partition available for Windows use.

how do I go about it?  I don't want to reinstall windows.  How can I format this second partition?

Thanks,
KABOOM!

Get a copy of PartitionMagic from Powerquest. That will let you manage your partition sizes ...
