I have Win2kPro and I tried to install it on saturday using partion magic. I made a second primary partition for win2k to sit on. So as not to destroy my Win98 OS. But Win2k refused to see my CD drive even though it could be accesed from dos. After I fought to get the w2k stuff off of it. I then converted the new partition back to fat32. Then merged the two partions back into one like it was before. It totally screwwed up my HD!!!Windows would not start. And I had to format my HD just to get up and running again!!! What the heck is wrong with these programs!? :-( Are you people installing win2k without partitioning the HD? Is that possible? Can you recover if it fails? I'm scared to even attempt it now. ScottA
