you should probably remove Partition Magic from your recommended list of
utilities since it is essentially:

- abandoned software 
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PartitionMagic

- incapable of dealing with ext4

actually, the system tools in Linux are pretty good at dealing with NTFS
these days. In reality, you can just 'format' a partition in Windows to
repurpose it from Linux to Windows or use either the Windows or Linux
versions of fdisk to remove Linux partitions.
