I have 2 hard drives...one with the OS on it and the other with files for work and school. I want to install 2000 on my comp...and format my hard drive...

can I just format the hard drive with the OS on it... ? and then install 2000 ?
What would the process be ?

Thanks

Why not install Win2K on the hard drive along with NT? Run dual boot for a while to make sure your hardware and software are compatible.

Reply 1 is not a bad suggestion .
As additional info this:
You can format your first disk and install W2k
If you have applications installed on your second drive the link with the first drive will be broken so you have to install them again.

Succes
