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.

I assume you want to install Win2k on an NTFS pratition. Just leave the main drive fat32, start the setup, and tell it to convert the partition to NTFS during setup. If you don't do it there, you can always do it from the command prompt: convert c: /fs:ntfs. Even if you do delete the partition on the main drive, after you install Windows, the system will still enumerate the partitions and make the first drive your C: drive.
