I believe you would *want* to format the drive to get the W2k goo off it, and accordingly make ensure that NT4 has a happy home.

none of the stability of NT4, and all of the problems of Win9x. Sure, it
looks nice, but what difference does that make when it won't return from
standby, and runs slower than NT4?
I tried once to dump the Win2k install, but it seems that it wrote
something into the boot sector so that the NT4 install won't take.
Is there a way to get NT4 back without having to format the drive? I don't
have a copy of Partition Magic (et al) to work on the boot sector directly,
and all my backup hardware is at home (currently 1800 miles away).
Options?
