Windows 2000 Server: Important Information

Preparing for an installation involves making sure that your hardware meets the minimum requirements and that Windows 2000 Server supports your hardware. When you install Windows 2000 Server, you should know weather you are upgrading or installing a clean copy on your computer. An upgrade preserves existing settings; a clean install puts a clean copy of the operating system with brand-new settings on your computer. Installation preparation also involves making choices about your system’s configuration, such as selecting a file system and a disk partitioning scheme.
