rdk - you can use a bootdisk as was recommended but if you install Win2k and converted the partitions or hard disks to NTFS then you are SOL. You would need to get a trial of ntfsdos from sysinternals.com to be able to access an ntfs partition from dos. Have you tried booting with the Win2k cd to repair? What is the actual problem that you are having that causes you to want to access a Win2k install from DOS?

Why not just disconnect your win2k hard drive and work only with the 2nd harddrive.

Disconnect Win2K harddrive. Connect 2nd hard drive by itself. Stick WinME CD in CDROM Drive. Boot From CD and start with CD support. FDISK 2nd hard drive, reboot, boot from cd, format, then run setup.exe from winme cd. Your WinME CD will be bootable unless you have a w4r3z "ripped" copy.
