Hi,
Yep, you just have one little think you will have to fix. Boot WinME, insert
a floppy and copy ntldr and ntdetect.com to it from the root. Then insert
the Win2000 CD and follow the upgrade prompts. When finished, the Win2000
boot loader will have overwritten the WinXP Home one, so you are going to
have to fix it by copying those files back to the root of the boot
partition. See this link from MVP Doug Knox for more details:
