Blue screen is most probably Softwae Issue. Don't upgrade 2000 to XP. Use clean install and see.

i'm sorry but cudnt understand this part.:(

were you refering HDD space.
allocate atleast 5GB for XP in any drive (C:, D:...)

Update ur BIOS and format the C Drive give XP 10 GB of space and upgrade ur RAM to atleast 256 MB but 512 will be better. For BIOS visit motherboard's vendor site and get latest BIOS for ur mobo model

Give your computer configuration otherwise noone will be able to give you a proper solution for your problem. :)

Also if you want to install xp, you need atleast 5 GB(1GB for windows+some for pagefile and some for the programs) in the partition which you install xp. :)
