Can not install on neither of those...

Fucking linux, give me DOS!

What to do? How do I get rid of that linux suse?
I think that HP_TOOLS partition might be your recovery partition. If you want you might be able to restore the original windows which was supposed to come with the laptop (assuming it was Windows?). If you want, tell use the model number of the laptop and maybe we can give you simple instructions where you can just press a couple keys at the start to start a factory reinstall.

Other option is I bet at the screen you see in the screenshot you can hit DRIVE OPTIONS (ADVANCED) and then get options to delete partitions if you want. But by doing so you will lose all data on the partitions and if you delete HP_TOOLS you will lose the recovery partition at present. But after deleting the partitions linux should be gone and it ought to be easy to install DOS or Windows if you have the media to do that.
