If you have one drive and use up the entire partition to install Win2k for that matter all other Win OS, you can't format the active drive. Unless you divide the harddrive into two partition if you install the OS, you can do so from Win2K.

Create a boot disk that will bring you into DOS, then your active drive will be the floppy or CD drive. Just make sure you have a format utility on the disk.

go to disk managment(right click my comp.-manage)check to see if your drive is fully occupied.(if it is then go purchase system commender or partition magic or redo the system but this time partition your drive to two or as many as you like.please keep me updated,goodluck.
