I just put together a new system, and I'm using an older HDD that already has an operating system on it (Win98). When I start the computer, it just hangs on the Win98 startup logo. I'm able to get to the desktop if I use Safe-Mode, but what I'm really wanting to do is install a different OS on it, either Win2000 or WinXP. If I try to boot-up from the CD-Rom, it hangs on the Win98 logo, how can I correct this. Should I fdisk the HDD, if so, how? I've changed the boot-up order in the BIOS to boot first with the CD-Rom, but then I end up getting an error message during the Win2000 install, "Disk I/O error: Status=00008000".

Help please...
