    Did you install XP to another partiton, or manage to mangle it over the top of 2000? If its another partition, formatting that partition should do the trick. You will need to use the Windows 2000 disk recovery utilities to repair the boot record afterwards.

    is there not something about dualbooting two versions of Windows where the boot.ini is only kept on one partition (generally the "older" of the OSes)

    check your Win2k boot.ini and winXP boot.ini (if it exists). may have to reinstall the OS you want to keep....
