Hi Gary, don't know what to tell ya, I just installed 3 Windows 2000 Pro's side by side about an hour ago. When you get to the prompt to delete the partition you want to install on, delete it, then do a slow format on the partition, then when prompted where to install it, choose the partition you just deleted and do a slow format. Give some feed back if this helps. Bob

Thanks for looking. This is not a new install... I have been using this system for a year and a half. All of a sudden, wacko! g
