W2K does not really run with a DOS layer.If you want to format and reinstall new there are a few options.Boot with W2K cd in the drive and PC set to boot from CD.Pick clean install and you will be given the opportunity to choose where to install, and allowed to repartition and format.
You could also boot with a W98/ME boot disk and run FDISK and remove all non-DOS partitions, then repartition and format.If you are going to stick to W2K the first is the way to go.If you are changing the OS completely the second is probably the best.
