Removal of Server 2000

[rnssnc1965]

I installed Server 2000 Evaluation copy on a laptop
(without a floppy. I need to remove it totally is it
possible without the floppy?

Will you be replacing it with any other operating system at this time? I
assume that the Windows 2000 install has timed out? There is no real way to
"uninstall" Windows 2000 or remove it without either upgrading the install
to Windows Server 2003 or using the Windows 2000 CD to wipe the hard drive.

It would honestly be easier to just use a Windows 98 boot floppy and use the
fdisk command to delete the partition. This will in essence wipe the drive.
