Well basically you answered your own question. Just delete the Windows
folder on C: Boot from the W2K (Server) CD and install. However to save time
later on, when asked, you should format C: drive using NTFS. During the
setup/installation, it will see the W2K Pro installation and act
accordingly, so you shouldn't have any problems with W2K Pro. After
installation, W2K Server will become the default OS.
