Partitioning problem before installing Win2k

[|mpeg|]

I plan on installing win2k again. Right now my HDD is fat32. Here is the problem I always ran into when installing win2k. I would first fdisk my MAIN drice C: (20 GIG) and delete the full partition then my SECONDARY drive (17 gig) would takeover as C: instead of D: when I installed win2k. Now how would i go about doing this so my MAIN drive stays a C: and my secondary drive D: stay the same drive letters? Thanks for the help in advanced.

There must have been an OS in drive D and that the active bit is set as true for the drive for it to take over as drive C when there's no valid partition in the first harddisk. The quick solution would probably disconnect drive D, fdisk, partition, format & install Win2K in drive C then reconnect drive D.

If you simply use fdisk to put a primary DOS partition on your main drive, and then format it, it will come up as C:.
