    Yes. If you just want to install Win2k, backup (if you have anything you want to save), and then restart the system with the Win2k disc in your CD/DVD drive. Follow the instructions, and reformat the drive you want to install it on. If you want to be able to boot between the OS's, make sure you have a 4GB harddrive or partiton set aside and install Win2k on that.

    If you're trading out XP for 2000, I'd say smart move. :D
