I am upgrading from 98 to 2K. I put the disk in and it runs.
When I go to delete the partition that has the old 98, I can not create another partition for the Win2K nor can I go in and manually create it.
Ideas?

Jump to PostBlue do this, you probably have one partition. That meaning your system files are on it (Win2k-PreLoading) you can't just break the partition I believe so you need to upgrade once you’re in the OS then get like Partition Magic or use Computer Management to create and make new partitions.

What exact error do you get when you try to create the new partition?
have you:
- booted from a floppy which has the fdisk program on it
- run fdisk from there and deleted the partition
- written your changes
- rebooted
- tried the Win2k install again
