When I tried to install Win2k Pro on formatted hard drive
with no OS, I have a message that says smartdrv is not
loaded. I have checked other resource, but, I don't know
much about DOS and how to add smartdrv to the disk. The
one article that I have looked said that need to check
autoexec.bat for smartdrv.exe and config.sys for device =
himem.sys.
 
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.

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.
