re: can't reformat the hard-drive Thursday, May 19, 2005 at 10:40 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by adrian (804 messages posted) I hit that problem once. The solution is to use a win98/winme boot diskette (if you don't have one, get it from http://www.bootdisk.com/), boot to the command prompt, and use fdisk to remove any exiting partitions. Now all drive is unformatted space. If win2k refuses to work even with this, go back to the diskette and create a partition and format it with FAT32. Install win2k in that. If you want NTFS, you may change during, or after the installlation.
