DOS FORMAT is a good choice. You can also go to My Computer, and right click on the drive and select format from the menu. Or you can go to the Control panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, then to Disk Management. From there, you can right click on the drive in question and select format. Outside of these options, you can use Partition Magic, Easeus Partition Manager, and nearly any other partitioning software.

The most trivial way of doing this is, to format the partition of the hard drive that has the windows 2000. However, all the data on that partition will be lost. Copy all the important documents onto a backup folder on some other patition and then continue with formatting.

Fat 32
Create two partitions in ur hard drive and install Windows '98 on Drive C and install Windows 2000 on Drive D to another partition.
Primary NTFS Partition.....
The tools provided with Windows 2000/XP/Vista do not allow creating a single partition above 32 GB (for good reasons). You would have to use another tool, such as PartitionMagic or GParted to format the disk.
Windows 2000 will automatically use the FAT32 file system
This usually occurs after formatting or putting a new hard drive into a system and needs to be fidisked. To do this get to a dos prompt usuing a bootable floppy, type in fdisk and partition the hard drive using the on screen options (create new partition)(fat32 for windows 95/98/me ntfs for nt/xp/2000)
The boot partition
To install Windows 2000, start by inserting the Windows 2000 installation CD into the CD-ROM drive and booting the computer from the CD. Follow the on-screen prompts to select language, partition the hard drive, and format it if necessary. After that, the installation process will copy files and prompt for configuration settings such as user information and network settings. Once the installation completes, the system will reboot, allowing you to set up additional preferences before accessing the desktop.
