reformatting problems- windows 2000
I started my computer up with the win2000 cd.
I selected clean install but when windows started all my old programs and files were still there. i wanted to erase everything and just have win200 on it. How do i do this. |

Go into the Recovery Console, which you can enter in the windows setup screen. There use the format command to reformat your hd.

when you went thru setup, did you delete the partition that was there? If not, run it again, this time choose to delete the partition, it will then create a new one and you should have a clean "brand new out of the box" install.
