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.
Best to choose NTFS during text mode portion of setup.

:
| i did clean install of w2k to fat32. After installation i converted fat32
to ntfs. So now i have c drive with 8+ gigabyte free and logical drive D
with 3 gigabytes of system info just about totally full. Is there a way to
either create another logical drive to shift some of that system info to or
perhaps to shift it all to the cdrive and simply get rid of the D logical
drive and return it back with the c.
| Incidentally i have a dual boot system-windows os (it says).
| Thanks in advance.
