Get a boot disk for the earlier OS then format the HDD and install the new system. Hope this helps :-)

have you got a boot disk? put the boot in to your floppy drive .Restart the Computer format C:/ what version do you want to put on 2000? then you need the Disk 2000.

What system are you trying to install? Each system has a different amount of disks that are needed to install. Win 98 & 98SE have one. Windows ME has 1. Win 2000 has 4 and XP has 6. As Barbyman said you will have to download the boot disks for the version that you want to use.

Hi i have done this loads of times,go to microsft downloads,download the floppy discs you need for the os you want to put on simply put them in one by one it will guide you through it will then ask you to put your disc in cd rom do this and it will load you should put a fresh os in instead of overlaying it takes time but quite easy good luck

Help me with: Hi can anyone help,i have a new pc running Vista home premium,as usual no disk can anyone tell me where or how i can get a disk?
