HOW TO FDISC IN WK2

[Guest]

It seems I need to wipe my current drive clean, but I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and I can't seem to find out how to do it. Can anyone tell me how this is done so I can perform a clean install in preparation for a new MB/CPU combo?

You can probably use the win2k setup program. I believe it gives you the option to delete partitions as well as create them. If not, get your hands on a win98 startup floppy, it contains the fdisk program...

Sometimes, Nes98 can't delete the NTFS partition with fdisk. I almost always end up booting the win2k cd, and using the partitioning program within the setup. It's a bit more 'non-Ms-dos' intuitive.

So anyway, drop in your win2k disk, keep going through the installation procedure until it actually asks you "where" you want to install win2k. Then you can hit 'D' for delete partition.

Yeah, what jdstan says is correct (just giving reinforcement).
