Does not sound like a memory problem,more likely when you loaded Windows XP the boot files of WIN2K were over written
Use the W2K startup disk and boot computer and run setup and when you get to window to select the installation choose to do a Repair Install for W2K,after thdis proces completes you should have a boot menu appear,which you can then select the OS to load.
