I have a dual hdd system with win2k running on the smaller hdd. Recently
partitioned the larger hdd, formatting one of the partitions in ntfs (it's
now empty). I want to install win2k on this fresh partition, but when I run
the install disk from the existing win2k (on the smaller drive) only option
seems to be to replace that already existing win2k. How can I tell the
installation to go to this fresh partition on the other drive? Tried
running install at boot also, still no option to select this new partition.

TIA

To do a clean install, either boot the Windows 2000 CD-Rom or setup disks.
The set of four install disks can be created from your Win2k 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 choosing to install to
drive1
