Now, does anyone know how to get rid of an operating system without formatting anything?

Sure. Take a sledge hammer to your hard drive. Tada.

@Scratcher: Windows protects "vital" "system" files, so shift+delete won't work.

I either want to...

For number 1, use Partition magic or a bootable linux disk and delete the partition. At least, I'm assuming it's a partition. If it's in another directory, you'll have to boot to linux and delete it from there (hopefully you're not using NTFS).

For number 2, modify your boot.ini file.
