I managed to get the drive formatted using Fat32 file system. It took 2 hours to
format a 40gig hard drive. Another 3 hours just to install windows 2000. I don't
know why it took that long to format and install an os. The drive partition fine
using FDisk.
I do have a new problem with 2000 now. When I went to install the driver for my
video card, windows says that the driver is not the correct one when I know it is.
I want to getting the computer going enough so I can at least go online with it
again.
