I am not sure on how to fdisk and format a particular partition on my hard drive. This partition has win2k on it, and I want to put WinXP on it. Also, my Sony Vaio PCG-GRX580K did not come equipped with a floppy drive, I just use a jump drive instead. If anyone can help, just email or reply to this. Thanks for your time.

I dont have the win2k cd, it came pre-installed on my computer. I have the winXP cd if that helps. A jump drive is just a usb mass storage(256mb drive).
