Get the most out of Win2K Pro's new recovery tool
Sometimes, your system fails to boot and displays a blue screen of gibberish or a message that says the system can't start because a file is missing or corrupt. Your first attempt to fix the problem is a reboot, but sometimes that method doesn't work. In such a situation, the Recovery Console (RC), a new tool in Windows 2000 Professional, might revive your system. (For more information about the RC, see Sean Daily, "Mastering the Recovery Console," page 68.)

All very well but....
anytime i've tried to delate a partition or run format I get the reply
unable to delete partition (or unable to format) as setup files are in use on this drive. I would love to be able to fully wipe and start with a clean disk but I can never seem to get there.
