Win2K Pro-Clean Install

[Danny]

I have Win 98 and wanted to do a clean install with Win
2000 Pro and totaly wipe the hard drive. Instead I
somehow did a dual boot setup. Now I have both 98 and
2k. How do I start over and just do a clean install
without wWin 98?

Run setup at boot from the CD. When you get to the partition you install on, delete the partition and format.

It won't let me delete the partition that way. Can I go
into Dos mode in win 98, run fdisk, delete the partition,
then start up the comp with the start-up disks and do an
install from there?
Thanks for the help.

That should work. I can't understand why you can't delete the partition though. But I couldn't format a drive the other day now
that I think of it using the CD. Said there was an error with the disk but I could do it in DOS.

I think I got it. I made some Start-up disks from the cd
and started the comp with them, then went to install. It
let me delete the partition there. Thanks.

The CD with service pack 4 integrated has a little issue, the partition
manager is a little changed, it won't allow you to make as many partitions
as you want, but only the one you'll install Windows.
