First of all, I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum, please move it as appropriate if needed.

Here's my situation:

My mom has an old Compaq with 256 RAM, like 1Ghz Celeron and a 20 Gig HD.

It came out of fabric with Windows ME.

As most of you probably know, Win. ME is probably the worst Windows that has ever existed. so, I decided to install Win 2000 professional, since this PC can't take anything higher than that with it's current characteristics.

Here's my problem: The original configuration from fabric had the hard drive partitioned, on the C drive Windows ME was saved. For some reason, when I installed Win 2000, this one got installed in the D drive.

C Drive is about 15 gig big and D Drive about 2 Gig.

All I wanted to do from the beginning was wipe out Windows ME and leave the computer running with Win 2000 installed on an unpartitioned hard drive.

Now my PC has both OS installed, but since Win 2000 is saved on the smallest partition, every time I try to install a program I get a lot of errors and crap.

I tried using the recovery disc that came with the PC to reboot everything to original installation but it gives me a message to contact Compaq customer service (I am pretty sure it has to do with the fact I installed Win 2000)

I have also tried using the Win 2000 disc to re install everything but it doesn't give me any options about the partitions or about erasing Win ME.

I will be leaving my mom in a couple of weeks and I really want to leave this PC set up for her so it doesn't give her any crap.

Any suggestions?
