Use a bootdisk (from www.bootdisk.com) with format and fdisk on it and wipe the drive before install.

Just insert the Windows 2000 CD, boot from it, start the setup, somewhere at the beginning you'll be able to set up the partitions you like. Just remove the existing ones, create new partitions (preferrably with the NTFS file system), format them and install Win2K. That's it, and you don't even need a bootdisk because Win2K has it all integrated in its setup
