Default Question for Dave Patrick - HELP


Dave, I have posted this question a few times and haven't
gotten an answer. I get to the point where it lists the
partitions and the C drive is the only one. Do I delete
it and then finish with the install?

If this in reference to;
news:4b5701c3e430$198e86c0$a601280a@phx.gbl
then the answer is yes.

To do a clean install, either boot the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom or setup
disks. The set of four install disks can be created from your Windows 2000
CD-Rom; change to the \bootdisk directory on the CD-Rom and execute
makeboot.exe (from dos) or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit) and follow the
prompts.

When you get to the point, delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions
found. After you delete the partition(s) abort the install, then again
restart the pc booting the CD-Rom or setup disks to avoid unexpected drive
letter assignments with your new install.
