You can try using fdisk to first make all the partitions and see if the
Win2K installer will install into just the first partition.

We have actually tried that, the script in the answer file undoes all
of the current partitions automatically. We would go in, create a
smaller partition, then start the new installation and it still comes
out as one huge single partition. It automatically deletes the
partitions on the harddrive then creates one, and installs.
