How to reformat one of my patition?

[Ranbaru]

Hi

I have a dual boot system, and each os has its own partition, Drive C: win me and drive D: win 2k. Righ now, I would like to redo a clean install with win2k in drive D. My question is how do I do that without harming my Me's partition?



Thanx

If you boot using your win2k's cdrom, you can use that format and install
to drive D.

Generically, boot to Windows ME, then open My Computer, then right click on D and select "Format." It will then format that partition.

I should had mention this on my orginal post, but drive D was format in NTFS, so Win me has no way read drive D, sorry bout that. As for boot win2k from cdrom, can anyone give me instruction on how to do this? Also, is there any other ways beside what mentioned above?



Thanx

OK . . . reformat D to FAT 32, then do a clean install of W2K on it. Then afterwards let W2K convert D to NTFS if that turns your crank. I don't like the idea of a dual boot system with two different drive file systems . . . makes for potential troubles with few good solutions. I grew to hate NTFS back with NT4 and still don't see any real advantage to it.
