just put xp on a other partition, and don,t do a upgrade, but a new install on the other partition.
XP makes a bootmenu and leaves your 2000 alone.

Use Partition Magic, available in a store near you. It does all the work for you without losing any data.

you HAVE to install dual boot on different partitions, otherwise conflicts and errors will pop up.
