Reformatting and installing a new OS

Well I am planning to reformat my computer then install
win2K useing a partition. Would anyone know how this would
work?

I assume you will be dual booting win 2k and xp? If so you need to install
win 2k first followed by win xp.
The win 2k cd is a bootable cd, so reformatting is the same as win xp. The
instructions for reformatting are available on my website:

www.freelanceit.glowinternet.com

click the Win XP faq button and look for reformatting your hard drive with
xp. The site is experiencing problems at the moment with the headers on each
page so you may need to press the 'back' button on your browser to get back
to the home page or faq table of contents.

During installation, and before you reformat, you will have the opportunity
to create an extra partition if you so wish. The information for this comes
on the windows 2k or xp screen just after you have selected the drive to
install windows. But please look at the information on the setup screen and
read it carefully.
