CANT REFORMAT

[crazy]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

I am having a problem in reformating. I can get the disk
to load first to reform the hdd. I have 2 operating
systems on it (win98 / win2k). I would only like win2k on
it so I want to either erase win98 or reformat the drive.
Any suggestions

To do a clean install, either boot the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom or setup
disks. The set of four install disks can be created from your Windows 2000
CD-Rom; change to the \bootdisk directory on the CD-Rom and execute
makeboot.exe (from dos) or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit) and follow the
prompts.

When you get to the point, delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions
found. After you delete the partition(s) abort the install, then again
restart the pc booting the CD-Rom or setup disks to avoid unexpected drive
letter assignments with your new install.
