when the machine first boots you should see a prompt which will only stay there for a few secs. It will look something like this:

LILO:


You need to very quickly type:

linux single

and hit enter....this should boot you into single user mode with root access.

But if you think you are going to format c: on a linux machine you must not know very much about linux.

Why do you need to format anyway? Go into the BIOS...set it to boot from the cdrom first, put your damn win2k install disk in the drive and reboot. win2k install will format the HDD anyway.
