How do I format a hard drive using windows 2000?
If anybody could send me step by step dummy proof
instructions it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
 
Are you installing for the first time? Are you formatting a new additional
hard drive in your system? Be specific.

In general, Go into your Computer Management console, Disk Management, find
the hard drive you wish to format, create a partition and then format.

You can delete just delete partition during the setup process, (after you've
booted off the CD and selecting which partition to install to)...
