I have heard from many that an upgrade from Win2000 should work fine.
But I recommend that you use partition magic to partition your hard disk an install WinXP on a different partition. Doing it in this way you will have your 2000 intact and your WinXP installation on a new partition. If XP fails in some way you will still have your old os as backup. But if you dont want to keep your old os, just format the disk and install XP or just upgrade.
