CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME ! ! ! My daughters computer
just got wasted and went to the recycle heaven. A friend
gave me a computer from his old buisness with windows 2000
Professional on it. I have all the software for the old
computer (Windows 98) and would like to load it on
the "new" one. Problem is I can't format the new
computer ! How can I get Windows 2000 Profesional out of
this computer ??? Thanks for ANY help. Please e-mail me at
(e-mail address removed)
 
To wipe the drive, some ways include; boot a win98 startup disk, run fdisk
and delete all partition information found (as long as NTFS is primary). Or
boot the Windows 2000 CD-Rom or setup disks and when you get to the point,
delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions found, then abort the
install. Or use a utility named delpart. Once removed you can boot the Win98
CD-Rom or restore CD-Rom to start your install. Make sure you have win9x
device drivers available before hand.
