No need to resort to proprietary software. F/OSS tools are available to do
the job. There are three things you want to do.

1. Remove the Red Hat partiton(s)

2. Resize the Windows Partition

System Rescue CD can handle the first two and might have tools to:

3. Restore the original MBR. fdisk /mbr will do that and make the Primary
DOS partition bootable. If you run into trouble Smart Boot Manager is your
friend.

If you have the Red Hat CDs this document on unistalling might help.
