reloading Win2000Pro

[C Hughes]

After d/l upgrades and srvpack, error messages keep
popping up, can be closed and work continued, but is a
huge annoyance. I was told to reload Windows. How can I
perform that. I need real specific instructions. Thanks

To do a clean install, either boot the CD-Rom or boot the Windows 2000 setup
disks. The set of four install disks can be created from your Win2k 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.
