If you visit our web site and click on the GUIDES button on
the top tool bar, it will take you to a section containing a
guide about partitioning your hard drive and a guide about
formatting your hard drive.

We also have guides for installing Windows95 & Windows98.   We
have not to date written one for Windows2000, since it is an NT
product, not intended by Microsoft for home users.  I also might
warn you to be sure to check that your PC is not currently
"sharing IRQs" for hardware devices, since Windows2000 will
become a nightmare to install if that is the case.

If you are interested in upgrading to a new operating system, might
I suggest that you wait until Microsoft launches Windows Millennium
the intended successor to Windows98SE.   Windows2000 is the
upgrade product for WIndowsNT.
