I cant replace Linux with Win2K... WTF?? HELP!!

[DrRomulus]

All right guys I need some help.

I recently acquired a farked up laptop that the dummy tried to load Mandrake onto. I am going to attept to replace the LCD myself but that is a moot point if I can't get it reformatted with Win2K instead of Linux.

I tried to redo the partition with fdisk but it doesnt let me clear the partition and I cant reformat because of Windows not reading the LINUX partition.

I need some help here! How do I get the LINUX partition removed and replace it with a DOS partition? I tried a Win98SE boot disk but when I run fdisk it just locks up.

Can somebody give me an idea how to do this??!!??

Boot off the Win2K cd and delete, readd and formate the partitions during install.

I don't believe that my Win2K CD is bootable.

If your Win2k cd is legal, it's bootable.

If your Win2k cd is legal, it's bootable.

Yup.

Cool,
I was under the impression that the Win2K Upgrade disks were not bootable. I will give that a shot.
