A number of things can cause this error, but its most likely a file system error.
Boot from your Windows 2000 CD. Choose not to install but to repair. Choose recovery console. Enter your root password when prompted. Then issue this command: chkdsk c: /p where c: is your system partition with Windows 2000 on it. |

Are you saying that you started a fresh install over the top of an existing one my accident??? Or was this your first attempt at getting Windows 2000 to run??

CD Drive error
Check the KB228852 article in the Microsoft support web site
