Preparing a Win2k hard drive

Got a buddy who just bought a machine. It came with WinME, but he wants to use Win2k. To prepare the primary drive, I created a new partition, fdisked the /mbr, and formatted as a system disk. However, the Win2k installation doesn't seem to be able to see the disk to install to it. BTW, I did this stuff with a Win98 Startup disk...could that be the problem?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide 8)
 
You don't need to prepare the disk in any way. If you just boot with the W2K install CD the setup program will show you the partitions available (as long as W2K knows the type, that is) and unpartitioned space and allow you to delete / create / format partitions. Fdisk and the Win98 startup diskette are not needed.

Regards,
Jim
 
hes right. just pop in the cd and boot from the cd. it will allow you to partition before the install and everything.
