ME is a piece of garbage why would you want to remove 2000 to put that on? In any case, if ME is what you want, you have no option but to FDISK and Format the drive and start over. There is no way to uninstall Windows 2000 unless you upgraded, even then, I would start over from scratch. You will avoid more work in the long run this way.

If you put 2000 on a seperate partition you can just deleate the partition. Boot with the me cd. fdisk/mbr and then sys c: and you will be back to normal.

Put Linux on the second partition you won't be sorry.

Again, Thanks Silver

On the multi boot menu, set the default to ME and set the time to zero. From now on, just forget 2000 is on the HD. You lose some HD space, but you don't have to start from scratch. I did that with WIN98 and NT. It may work with ME/2000.

If you installed windows 2000 in a different directory to windows me you could just delete the windows 2000 directory. Boot with a msdos boot disk and run a fdisk/mbr and sys c: to restore the orignal boot loader.

I hope this helps.
