you cannot format the drive Windows is using from within Windows. pop in your windows 2000 CD on boot, and start the install. before it actually does install, it will ask you whether to format the drive. format to NTFS.

also make sure you have all that you want saved on another media. and make sure you have all the drivers you need.
