Can I use the 2K upgrade disk like the full version,Like if I were to want to format my "C" partition?"??
Discussion is locked
No. It will boot and let you partition, but to use it proper you let the installer do the formatting. At the right time it will ask for the old Windows 98 CD as proof of the upgrade rights.

So if I have to reformat my "C" drive do I just use the format feature in windows then???
A great way to trip up a Windows 2000 (XP too) install is to format before you boot that CD. Just use the CD's installer and you can partition and let it format it. NOWHERE do you format the drive. The installer does it.
If you wish to format it some other way, just go ahead but don't complain to me about it.
As to the upgrade CD, all it will do differently is to ask to see that other OS cd...

As you may have already guessed I am by no means a cumputer genius,and I am just guessing that the installer you keep refering to is on the upgrade disk as well? and all I have to do is insert the disk and follow the instuctions from there to remove the patition(RIGHT)...
