I need to reformat my hard drive so I can get rid of 2000
server and install 2000 pro. How to I get so I can format
my hard drive.
 
Boot from the 2000 Pro CD and you will have the option to partition and
format the disk during setup.
 
Hello Bob,

The easy way would be to create a boot disk that has the format command on
it, boot up using that disk, and run format from the command prompt.

If you do not have the means to create such a boot disk, you can probably
find one on http://www.bootdisk.com/

if your system bios supports boot-from-cdrom, change it and boot from cdrom. Insert either w2k prof or w2k server and boot from it, you will get the option to format or del partition to install the new o/s you want.
