Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / General Topics / June 2004Reformat Hard Drive
I have Windows Professional 2000 and I want to uninstall Windows Professional 2000 by reformatting my hard drive and then install Windows XP Professional. I have made startup disks for both operating systems mentioned but am getting messages that I can't reformat because of the NTFS that Windows Pro 2000 works on being that XP Pro works on a 32FAT. >I have Windows Professional 2000 and I want to uninstall >Windows Professional 2000 by reformatting my hard drive [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >that Windows Pro 2000 works on being that XP Pro works on >a 32FAT. Both operating systems work with NTFS. You could boot the Windows XP CD and install. When prompted, have it reformat the partition. Jerold Schulman Windows: General MVP JSI, Inc. http://www.jsiinc.com Hey! I am reformatting (actually already have) my c drive. Afterwards it won't recognize my cd rom drive. I am booting using a win98 boot disk and choosing for it to boot with CD rom capability. I have my windows setup disc in the cdrom drive. when I type in setup, it says CDR-101: not ready reading drive D. I have tried other letters but get the same thing. What do i have to do to get Windows 2000 to install again?? I have run fdisk but didn't actually do anything in it but look at the different areas on partitions.

Do I need to create a primary dos partition? I was trying to copy my cabs over into the c drive but it says I don't have enough room. I have a 27 gb hard drive. SignatureTerri > Boot the win2k cd.
