Trying to reinstall Windows 2000 Pro - Uninstall Windows2003 Server

[Guest]

Hi,
I tried the trial version of Windows2003 Server but am finding to many things that my system is not compatible with. Is there any way to uninstall it and re-install Windows2000 Pro? It won't install Windows2000 Pro because it is an older operating system and I am unable to format the C drive since applications from the server are running on it. Any suggestions? Thanks. Leesa

You can boot from your W2k Pro CD, delete & recreate & format a partition,
and do a clean setup.

I was almost there. I tried rebooting from the windows2003 server cd in hopes of reformatting then reinstalling windows2000 pro. Don't know why I didn't think of rebooting from the windows-pro cd. Thanks!!!! Leesa

No problem!

Greetings --

Simply boot from the Win2K installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and/or format the system partition as
part of the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the
order of boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
