hello!
I am trying to re-format my partitions on my hard drive(3
partitions)and re-partition hard drive to dif. values.
however when i try and re format a blurb comes up first
with the usual warning then with "cannot reformat this
drives and something to the effect that make sure other
programs or devices are using or pointing to the hard
drive)if anyone could post detailed instructions on how to
reformat in windows 2000 would be appreciated.
as you can tell i am new to windows 2000
TIA
 
Fisr of all take backup of all data .If you want multiple OS here is a thumb
rule.Older operating system goes first with newest one to be installed
last.So if u want win2000 and winxp start with win2000.Then boot your
computer using windows 2000 cd.After going through license screen there is
a screen where you can delete partition and creat partition.I hope this
will help.
 
Take a look at this first E C M.
