Are you saying that I could have run the W2000 CD to an unformatted drive and it would have formatted and installed W2000 to it? I was under the impression that the drive had to be formatted before it could be accessed and installed to.

2 others before me have said the same thing. All drives have to be partitioned & formatted 1st prior to install a Windows OS but since 2k all Windows OSes installs will do this for you. Why are you using Fat32? IIRC Fat32 was NOT originally supported with 2k but was added with subsequent service packs. If my memory is correct & you're trying to install with an original 2k disk it's no wonder it won't see your partition/format information.
