how do i format??

by cul8rm8e . Updated 25 years ago

i would be grateful if someone could give me instructions how to format my HD im running win2000 pro, file system (FAT) and no partitions, i have tried using bootdisk (4) and installing over the original os but my cd-rom cant read the disk as it is asking for the windows 2000 professional cd which i have already got inserted, keeping in mind when i open the disk from windows itself i can view all folders on the disk, i have tried to install from bootup with the same thing happening, (error:olease insert disk volume label windows 2000 profesional) also i would like to say that i upgraded my win98 os using this same disk but i had to extract all win 2000 pro files to desktop first and setup from there,i have already tried the same while i have win 2000 installed assuming i can delete the folder when i have installed it again, i know it sounds a bit mad but if i can format my HD i will install win98 again and install win2000 on another partition, any hints on that would also be grateful,

put me out of my misery! please! help.
