XP installed, but wouldn't format over W2K :(
I bought OEM XP pro to install over W2K. Somehow I've ended up with both OS on the drives. Maybe when it gave me an option to install over the existing OS (option L), I missed it. I'm not sure. W2K doesn' respond, and I can't get to any options that will allow me to reformat the drive and start over.

How do I wipe this drive clean and start over??

it sounds like you tried to install XP after it was already booted. boot from the cd rom
