Hi all Im trying 2 sort a 2nd PC that i recently got the only problem being the person that had it before me (my sister) tried to install XP but there wasnt enough room on the Hard Drive and now it wont let me restore it to Windows 2000 or 98 , as when it starts it just crashes and when i put an installation disc in it crashes as theres no room left :( is there anyway to take xp off the PC then install 2000 ?? Many Thanks in Advance Jamie

Since you probably created a Mess, If it was Me I would just reinstall 2000.

You do that by booting to your 2000 CD. at the Partition screen you choose to delete the Partitions. That gets rid of your Mess.

Then just follow the on-screen directions to create a new Partition, Format, and in about a Hour 2000 will be installed.

Then Check device manager to look for Hardware that might need Drivers. Get a Firewall installed, go online to track down any Drivers you might need, and install Programs when needed.
