OK, I'm a purist. I love W 2K. I purchased a new
computer with XP. While XP is nice at work, I want my
personal computer to have W 2K. I've tried FDISK from
the command prompt, and it is not recognized. Anyone
have any more ideas to make it happen. I tried just
putting in my W 2K disc, and natually XP says "You are
attempting to install an older version of Windows. The
setup files will be disabled."

Help...
 
The Windows 2000 CD is bootable and contains all the tools necessary
to partition and format your drive. Follow this procedure and allow
Windows 2000 to partition and format your drive:

1. Open your BIOS and set your CD Drive as the first bootable device.
2. Insert your Windows 2000 CD in the CD Drive and reboot your computer.
3. You'll see a message to boot to the CD....follow the instructions.
4. The setup menu will appear and you should elect to delete the existing
Windows partitions, then create a new partition, then format the primary
partition (preferably NTFS) and proceed to install Windows 2000.
