Well, the quickest way to do it, is to run fdisk on Linux, and changing the partition to
Win FAT 32. After that, you just need to boot
Win98 and format the partition (it should
apear on "My Computer" as a new disk).

You could just delete the Linux partition. Then run a partition extender (e.g. Partition Magic) to extend your current Win98 partition into that now vacant area of the disk.
