I want to eliminate my Win ME and run in Win 2000 PRo. Since ME cannot be upgraded to 2000 Pro, then I need reformat my disc totally and put a new OS. Can you give me the right to do it so I won't be ended up with a dead computer. Thanks.

First make sure that you have setup disk drivers to support WIN2K PRO

at command prompt type FDISK
enable large disk support (y)
Select to Delete the partition and proceed by following on screen instructions
After the fdisk,you will proceed to format and install W2K Pro
