The process is FDisks and then Format, not Format then FDisks.

First of all, you got it backwards. You use FDISK first, then Format,
not the other way around.

Actually, you don't need to do any of that, however, as Win2K can do the
format as an integral part of the installation, it's not necessary to do
it separately first.

The best way to install, in most cases, is to boot from the CD-ROM.
