Removing Win2k from one's system
This is a discussion about Removing Win2k from one's system in the Windows Hardware category; Alright, here's my problem. I have a triple-boot system (Win98, WinNT4, and Win2k build 2194) and I want to remove Win2k from my system. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, I'd just format the drive and carry on my merry way.

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, I'd just format the drive and carry on my merry way. However, the new bootloader that comes with Win2k has overwritten the old NT bootloader, and I want to get it back.
How do I go about doing this?
Thanks..

Just once, I'd like to see an elementary particle physicist use *ZOT* when referring to accelerator operations. Is that too much to ask?

forgive me I am slow at times I might have misunderstood ur questions so if I totally dont answer it sorry ..... But the boot loader is located on the primary partition right? (I might be wrong)
So just delete the extended partition and ur done.
Or just delte the winnt 5.0 directory and other basic folders that go with it
ie program files
documents and settings
or
finally sys.com the drive u want to boot off and copy the boot file tot hat drive......
