| 111047 | 2003-01-04 23:24:00 | I am a bit confused....... You currently have 3 partitons on your HDD with Win98 and Win2000 in one each and the 3rd with your Win2000 programs. > is there possible to reinstall w2k without formatting > the partition yes - choose install without reformating option > all the program i intalled in w2k is installed on > another partition > which i dont' want to keep You can reformat that partition (drive) so that it is blank again, but you cannot removed the partition - it has to stay or you will lose everything on your 8gig drive > would it be possible to just delete the WINNT folder > and documents and settings folder + the bootfiles of > w2k > > then just put in the w2k install disc while in w98se > and install a clean install again? Lost me again....... |
