Hello,

Recently I was forces to reinstall Win 200 Pro. The
whole setup runs fine, but when it comes to the
installation process it freezes. At first I thought that
I was not giving it enough time, but then after a whole
day I noticed different. How can I reformat the drive
and install the OS without having this problem?
 
To do a clean install, either boot the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom or setup
disks. The set of four install disks can be created from your Windows 2000
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.
