Right now, you're unable to install windows XP because you're logged as user with no admin rights.

You will have to install Windows XP by booting off the CD. You might have to go into the BIOS and changing the boot order.

If you have your windows 2000 disk you can run the system repair option it should allow you to create a new administrator account when if finishes.
