I installed Win 2000 (NTFS File System) and don't really like it. I can't play some of my games, etc. I've now bought Windows ME to replace it with. I don't know anything about DOS to speak of. Can anyone help me reformat this thing to Win 95 so I can upgrade to ME?

Thanks for your help! By the way, I don't have the 4 disc thing for Win 2000... I actually got a burned copy of it from someone so it's only on 1 disc.

to create the four setup disks, insert your w2k cd into your cdrom and label 4 floppies
startup1,2,3,4 . Now go to START,RUN and type the following
d:\bootdisk\Makeboot.exe a:
and press enter follow the instructions.
Once created reboot using the start up disks and follow setup instructions ,but when it ask what partition to install into choose the NTFS partition you already have w2k on,but choose to delete the partition it will ask for confermation press L to confirm then exit setup by pressing F3 twice.Now remove the cd and floppy and reboot with your win9X startup disk and at the DOS prompt type FORMAT C: /s
Once this is done you can install win9X and then upgrade to winME.
