Dorothy, my experience with installing win2k is to do a clean install. You may even want to open your machine, take the current C: drive and move it to secondary position. Buy a brand new higher capacity drive install it as C: and install win2k onto it. Then you have your old data available but not in conflict with the new os. Just be sure updates of old programs go into the D:\ program's directory not onto c: As you add new win2k operating system programs do so to the new C: drive.. Doing it this way you get a clean install on a healthy new drive, isolate win95/98/programs to their own drive and eventually may want to simply reformat your old drive, keeping essential old stuff in a small C:\old drive data subdirectory
