Hi. I'm trying to remove some old Iomega Zip 100 drivers that I
installed while tinkering around. It prevents my computer from starting
up . I have to disconnect the drive in order to start it up. I am
running W2K pro. I'll be grateful for any useful advice. Thanks. M

Remove it via the Control Panel (Add/Remove programs).
 
You shouldn't need to install Iomaga drivers for the zip drive. The driver for that I think is called ppa.sys:

Note the issue really is the other programs that get installed by installing the Iomega "stuff pack." Avoid installing anything from Iomega and Windows 2000 should have no issue with the Zip Drive. Except for one very annoying issue but your post wasn't about that so I'll end with this:
