best way install MS wins 2000 pro?

i upgraded from ME, but going to do a fresh install,as thats only way to get rid of Mcafee agent(i assume the reason why i cannot download the macfee active shield updates?)

whats best way install MS wins 2000 pro?
,i have 40 gig maxtor,2 partitions,

i am going to FDISK C,reformat & install 2000 on C, i assume my second partition will be left alone,as I have data on it i dont want wiped by an install?

 

See several other recent threads for more info but basically, you can do what you want from the 2K setup. No need for fdisk or any of that.

 

what did i do wrong?

ok,i reinstalled K2 on 1st partiton as fat,but after reboot see it just installed ontop of other(messed up K2)


i dont remember seeing option to wipe C clean? i just chose a new install?


your saying the K2 CD is all i need,

what did i do wrong?

 

Hi Jazzbo,
ok what you have to do is...
1. go to your BIOS (restart your system, then press delete ( this is for asus MB, may be different for other brands) at the very beginning (i mean as soon as there is display on the monitor), then go to "boot" and make your CD rom drive as the primary boot device. Now save your configuration and exit (make sure you have your win2k CD in before you exit the BIOS)
2. Now your system should restart after you exit the BIOS. You should then see something like " to boot from your CD-ROM drive pess any key) and just press enter... NOw you should see a blue screen that says window 2000 setup. From here on it's very straight forward. If you want a fresh copy, first you delete your C: partition, then create a new one. Also, make sure you format your new partition in NTFS format, I think it's more stable than FAT32.

Hope it helps...
