All, I installed 98 to upgrade to 2k pro. When I popped in the cd (2k) I choosed upgrade>clean install. When the OS when on and restarted I was prompted for which OS to use
Mircosoft Windows 2000 Professional
and
Windows
How do I get it to run 2k automaticaly and/or delete the windows 1?
Thanks in advance

Well what happened is that you have both W2K and W98 installed on the same system. What I would do is reinstall W2K again, this time though delete all of the existing partitions and reformat them and reinstall. Keep in mind that you will lose everything on the hd so make sure that you backup anything that you don't want to lose.

When you boot from the 2k cd, it will give you the option to delete the partitions and set new ones, if desired.
