FWIW, I installed W2K as a dual boot with SE and couldn't get my modem to work, so I decided to uninstall it till I could get another modem. I used PM6 to make the partition for W2k. When I formatted and FDISKED I still had remnants of the new partition for some reason. I ended up getting the zero-write utility from Samsung to write zeros to the hard drive and reformatted. This brought everything back to a pristine condition where I was able to reinstall SE and everything was good with the world again.
