I have four partitions - three of them occupied by Operating Systems. 2000 Professional on 'c', XP Professional on 'e' and Vista HB on 'i'. The 2000 is a disappointment because of display problems. When I go into Control Panel and select Display and then select Settings; there are only two options available 640x800 and something similarly low. Obviously this results in poor display of web pages (a horizontal scroll bar because of the whole web page not fitting on the screen) and a generally poor appearance compared to what I have on XP and Vista. Is there any way around this - to obtain the higher resolution settings (like 1280x1024) that I use in XP and Vista. If I decide to remove the 2000 installation, is it best to format the drive or simply delete the appropriate logical drive? How will this affect the boot up screen?

In Win2000, install the latest graphics drivers.
Also, make sure you installed all the motherboard drivers.
I have W2K, XP,and Kubuntu all running flawlessly on my Desktop PC.
If you remove W2K, you will screw up the other installation's boot loader. After removing W2K, re-install Windows XP on the C: drive. Then, re-install Vista to another partition.

If you remove Windows-2000 then theoretically it should no longer show up as a bootable partition. You will have to alter the MBR (Master Boot Record) by uisng the fixmbr command.
It's quicker to format the partition if you want to get rid on Windows-2000.

the problem is not with your windows it's with your display adaptor...upgrade the driver..your current driver is too old or incompatible.
only driver upgrade would solve the problem.
