text: how do i format my hard drive to get win 95 off and win 2000 on? it say i need the windows 95 disk but..well yea it will ask you for the windows 95 disk if you are trying to upgrade. do a clean reformat with the windows 2000 disk. place 2000 disk in computer, reboot and choose, start from cd. it will then run you through the wizard. good luck!
