linux uses a different filesystem then windows. Since your entire hard drive is formated there is no room to install linux. If your d: drive is blank then use the disk administrator tool in W2K to delete it. I don't think the tool can resize.

Now you can install linux. The installer is able to partition the freespace automatically.

I am forced to use a boot floppy with my W2K so you might want to search for previous posts on dual booting with W2K.
