I am trying to get rid of everything due to an accident , and try to install win 2000 pro from the begining. When I get to set the Primary DOS Partition IT sais that the maximum space allowed is 1384 MB. Is that right? Could someone give me some pointers as I am completely new to this partitioning business. Thank you very much.
