It depends what has gone wrong with your W2K installation. If the partition has been damaged, booting with the XP CD will cause it to require partitioning the drive and formatting it before installing. If you went ahead, you will lose all your old data. If the partition is intact, it may ask if you want to format the drive - don't. Just perform an upgrade. Normally, the existing data files will be intact. Your PC will then be running XP, hopefully.

If you have an XP disk, I would have thought you would just upgrade with that, you wouldn't lose your files. I'd suggest an upgrade too. What you want to do is not possible.
