    Wipe XP and Install 2000
    I just bought a new Dell that came with XP. I'd like to install 2000 instead. What is the best way to completely remove XP and install 2000?

    The most complete way would be to reformat the hard drive, start the computer from the windows 2000 CD, and install from there. You may need to change some settings in the bios to be able to boot from the CD, but that shouldn't be too difficult.
