I installed a completely fresh copy of Win2k with NTFS pretty easily. All I did was use a different PC to generate the floppy disks for the Win2k installer (the utility was in the /bootdisk directory on the CD). I plugged in the CD drive and the floppy drive simultaneously, booted from the floppies, and Win2k setup understood the CD drive by itself. As long as your PCMCIA CD drive's drivers are either built-in to Win2k (as mine are) or have a Win2k setup driver, it should be easy. I *believe* that the drive I used was the one that was shipped with the 110ct as the CD drive option.
