^^ as he said. Buy new HDD and install XP then have the HDD with win2k on it as a second drive. Transfer all files across then format old HDD.

take your hard disk drive out of your Pc and plug it into another computer, you must know sumeone with another pc? then it will be seen as another drive, copy all files you want off to his PC then wipe the hardrive and install XP
