Ok my dad has a crappy Gateway from around 1999-2001. He's got it REAL bad with trojans, virii, spyware, adware, hijackers, toolbars, etc. After running every single scanning proggie on the planet, I decided that I need to reformat his drive and reinstall Windows 2000. I need your help.

So far, I've backed up the files he wanted to keep by FTP'ing them to my PC. I read around for tutorials, and found that I have to do this:

1. Create a Windows 2000 floppy boot disc.
2. Startup his Gateway, hit F1 to get into the BIOS mode, and set it to boot from the CD drive.
3. Restart and boot with the Windows 2000 disc in the CD drive.
4. Press F10 and choose Recovery Console.
5. Specify my installation.
6. Enter admin user/pass.
7. Type, "map" and hit enter.
8. Type, "format C: /fs:ntfs" and hit enter.
9. Type, "y" and hit enter.
10. After the drive is formatted, type "exit" and hit enter.

Ok, so, I have no idea how to create a Windows 2000 floppy boot disc. I have a Windows 2000 CD, so all I need are instructions on how. Also, are there any errors in this process, or anything else I should look out for? And after I format and restart his PC, do I restart it with the boot disc in the floppy drive? How will it detect my Windows 2000 CD if the CD drivers have been wiped away just like everything else?

What else do I need to know that I haven't asked about? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I really don't want to make my dad's computer unusable. Thanks!
