Downgrade From Xp To 2000

[Twist3r]

im going to downgrade from windows xp to windows 2000.

what is the best way to format my hard drive for a clean install of windows 2000?

[Ariel_001]

Boot with the windows 2000 setup CD-rom.

Delete and create partition. Format with NTFS.

Why do u wanna do that?

I dont see any reason unles u have an extremely slow PC. Well, I have a P3, 500MHz, 128 RAm and I used to run 98. The PC ran ok, kinda slow. I put XP and now runs like .. 5 times better ...
