Easiest way to do this is to Backup all your data first (Pics, Docs etc)
Then just boot from the Win 2000 cd and let the installer re-format the drive and install.

It probably all depends on the boot sequence defined in the BIOS. You should have the floopy in 1st, CD-ROM in second and IDE in 3rd. Saving your preferences and rebooting will allow you to boot from CD-ROM. Insert your Windows 2K CD and you should see a message telling you to strike any key to boot from CD_ROM. Then follow the instructions to install winndows 2000.
