Reinstall Win2K Pro

I already have Win2K Pro installed in the C:\ drive & WinXP Pro
installed in the D:\ drive. Both C: & D: are partitions of the same
hard disk.
I wanted a clean re-install of Win2K Pro & hence re-installed it but
after re-installing Win2K, the folders that existed prior to
re-installing still exist (though none of the programs work). Moreover
when I open Control Panel, open 'Display' & go to the 'Settings' tab, I
find only one 'Color Quality' in the drop-down menu which is 16 colors.
If my memory serves me right, while installing Win2K, the setup asks
for the motherboard CD-ROM but the setup didn't prompt me to insert the
motherboard CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive this time. Is this OK?
To do a clean re-install, I was thinking of formatting the C:\ drive
completely & then re-installing Win2K again but will this approach be
safe? The reason I am asking this is because both NTDETECT.COM & NTLDR
exist in the C:\ drive & WinXP uses these 2 files to boot. So will it
be safe if I format C:\ completely & then re-install Win2K Pro?
I don't want WinXP Pro to get affected in anyway. Please suggest.
