    Dave,
    I've created the bootdisks from my win2000 upgrade cd. I used makebt32.exe.
    At this point I assume I start the clean install by inserting the win2000
    upgrade cd which then directs me to the setup screen. I'm assuming the setup
    cd will search for existing system and partitions and thats when you want me
    to delete the partiition(s). After I delete the partition(s), you state abort
    the install. How do I abort the install? Should I press Ctrl-Alt-Del or shut
    the computer off? Doesn't windows automatically reboot anyway after the
    partition(s) have been reformated?
