windows2000 clean install

[nxh]

could some correct me if i make a mistake somewhere.
i want to erase all my data on c: and do a clean install of my win2000 os.
in order to do this i have to boot up from the dos command prompt because i cant format my c: drive while in windows. The problem is i cant boot to dos. what can i do? and what steps are needed afterwards.

what do u mean u cannot boot to dos? set ur bios to boot from 1.) cd 2.) floppy 3.) hd. then stick a win98 (or win2k) cd in the cdrom and u should be able to boot to a dos prompt. if u don't have a win98 cd, use any bootable floppy with "format.com".

yep, win2k cd is the easiest way to go there.
