You can either startup the computer using a Startup Disk that has Fdisk on
it, or startup using the W2K cd, when it comes to the screen where it shows
you the partitions available, you will be able to delete the partitions, set
the sizes of the new partition(s),and re-format the partition you're going
to install W2K on. Once it is installed, you will then be able to format all
the other partitions.
