There are a variety of ways to reformat the hard drive, which is what you seem to be saying that you want to do.
 
But, before you do so, let's clarify what you really want to do.
 
Are you looking to just remove Fedora from your system, or re-format the entire hard drive?
 
Do you have Windows installed on the system as well?
 
Do you have any other Linux distros on the system?
 
If you just want to remove Fedora and keep Windows, you need to get the bootloader grub (or lilo) off the MBR first.
 
Let us know what you want to do and we can guide you through the process.
