Hi jlowell,
Not that familiar with 2K, but if it's anything like 98.2, I'd consider at least removing or renaming the Windows directory, especially if you've been messing with drivers and such. I say this because just reinstalling (98.2 at least) over a bad running install doesn't always clean things up as it doesn't replace what it thinks you have. It also leaves the registry and stuff alone, so the problem may not be fixed. TwoRails |

Windows setup should detect that your HD already has an OS loaded, and it will ask you if you want to format prior to installation of the new OS. If not, just boot up into DOS, and then just do a format from there.

Sounds like you have it under control. You should have no problems as far as the install is concerned.
