13. ESC will produce the following screen:
Windows 2000 Professional Setup
===========================
The following list shows the existing partitions
and unpartitioned space on this computer.
Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to select
and item in the list.

29307 MB Disk 0 at ID 0 on bus 0 on atapi:
C: FAT 32 4001
MB (1125 MB free)
D: FAT 32 21242
MB (14615 MB free)
Unpartitioned space 4063 MB
Here, you can see my 4 GB C: drive, which
has Windows Me installed on it, my 21 GB D: drive which has a lot of files
I do not want destroyed on it, and 4 GB of unpartitioned space earmarked
for Win 2K. Scroll to the unpartitioned space and press the
C key to create a new partition for Win 2K.
14. The following screen will then appear
Windows 2000 Professional Setup
===========================
The following list shows the existing partitions
and unpartitioned space on this computer.
Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to select
and item in the list.
-
To setup Windows 2000 on the selected
item, press ENTER.
-
To Create a partition in the unpartitioned

29307 MB Disk 0 at ID 0 on bus 0 on atapi:
C: FAT 32 4001
MB (1125 MB free)
D: FAT 32 21242
MB (14615 MB free)
F: New (Unformatted) 4055 MB
Unpartitioned space 8
MB
As you can see, I just wasted 8 MB. Well,
not really, because after I finished installing Win 2K, I used a third party
software utility to expand the NT partition so it occupied the 8 MB.
15. Scroll to F: and hit ENTER.
Windows 2000 Professional Setup
===========================
The partition you selected is not formatted...
...
Format the partition using the NTFS file system.
Format the partition using the FAT file system.
I scrolled to the 2nd choice...
16. ENTER
Windows 2000 Professional Setup
===========================
Because the partition is greater than 2048
megabytes (MB), Setup will format it with the FAT32 files system.
17. ENTER
This will produce a screen showing the format
progress. The next screen examines the disk and proceeds to install
Win 2K.
