You can delete your partition and create a new one from the installation of Win 2k. Basically, all you need to do is make your CD ROM boot your CD drive before your HDD. There r loads of diff ways u can do this, all depends wot Hardware u hav got on ur sys. Av got mine set-up so it boots floppy drive, IDE CD ROM, SCSI CD ROM, USB ZIP Drive and then the HDD.

You shouldnt need to FDISK it or format it in FAT32... The Win2k setup program gives you the option to partition & format the HDD (in NTFS), so that would be the easiest way!

And, just in case your Win2k CD isn't bootable, have this ready on 4 disks as an alternative:

1 Floppy
2 cd rom
3 hard drive

aight, i just wasnt sure if there were any files i needed to leave to be able to switch it on.
i guess it just uses files off the disk to start up?

Nothing :boggle:

Win 98 boot disk. FDisk it. then format it Fat 32

Then convert to NTFS
