My daughter installed XP and prefers to go back to 2000 Pro. What's the easiest means of doing this? I am missing what is probably an easy step to make this possible. Thanks!

Please click the link below for your operating system to download the TSG SysInfo Utility. Click on "Save File" then double-click the file to run it. Copy and paste the report in your initial post. Windows 7 and later (downloads a file named tsginfo.exe) | Windows XP (downloads a file named SysInfo.exe)

The quickest and easiest way would be to download and extract a Windows 98 bootdisk
Ensure that the boot order is set to Floppy Disk in BIOS
(press DEL on start up of your system, choose BIOS features or Advanced features option, )
Once the system is rebooted, choose the Start without Cd rom support option
Type in Format C: to format the Hard drive (I always hate telling people to do this, it normally signifies failure!!!)
Reboot the system again with the Windows 98 boot disk in the floppy drive and the Windows 2000 disk in the cd rom drive and choose Start computer with cd rom support option
Type in e:\setup (where e: is the cd drive)
Install Windows 2000
