If you have nothing important on the drive...
go to www.bootdisk.com, make yourself a boot disk. I like the Win98 ones since they are not full of crap.
run fdisk, delete all your partitions, make a new primary partition, format the partition, and install 2K on it :)
I just pop in the Win2k install CD, and delete my partition, create a new, and format it.
For 2K, make sure you format as NTFS (not convert!) using the installer...
from my experience format as NTFS or convert doesn't makes any difference...Quote:

Formatting uses 4096-byte allocation units. Converting uses 512-byte units, leading to increased fragmentation.
