| What it's saying in the message is that you have WinXP with Sp2/Service Pack 2 running and you put in a CD from an older version of Windows [Win2000]. That's a perfectly normal message, usually happens when also viewing a Win95, Win98 or WinME CD in a WinXP or Win2000 computer.
Or in other words, you can't install an older version of Windows from within the newer version.
Also, the SP2 is not the Operating System itself but a modified/updated version of the original Windows XP/ replaces the original version on the newest computers.
What is your intent? Are you meaning you want to dual-boot WinXP and Win2000? Or do you want to replace WinXP with Win2000?
