This is a cinch! In Win2k, right click on the drive you want to format, hit format on the menu, and then do a full format.
OP
Well, it's not that easy. I don't have that option on that new drive when I right click on it
Well then, go into disk managment and do it form there.
Make sure that your drive has been configured in BIOS if its on the regular IDE controllers and not an IDE card or extra controllers on the motherboard. And don't forget the power.
I'm not saying you haven't done this, but I'm just covering the bases.

To elaborate on what Ge0ph said - right-click on 'my computer' and choose 'manage'. Under 'storage' there is a section called 'disk management'. This is where you go to create/modify/delete partitions.
Is there a way to create a non-dymanic disk in Disk Management? when ever I've tried formatting partitions in there, it always creates them as dymanic - I don't want that.
