If you chose to retain your Windows 2000 files during the upgrade, you
can uninstall XP from Add/Remove Programs. If you didn't, you'll need
to format the drive and clean install Win2k.

It depnds on how you intalled xp.
if you did a system upgrade, such that all yor previous programs and
settings were preserved, you maybe able uninstall xp from
add/remove programs.
But if it's a clean, vanilla xp you installed, you essentially
have to reformat the disk and reinstall win2k.

You've already gotten answers to your question, but let me add a
question and a comment.

Despite the difference in the names they are sold under, Windows
XP (Windows NT 5.1, under the hood) is really just a newer and
improved version of Windows 2000 (Windows NT 5.0). There's
little, if anything, to prefer about Windows 2000. What do you
like better about Windows 2000? If it's just the interface, do
you realize that the new Windows XP interface is entirely
optional, and you can easily switch to the classic interface,
making it look essentially like Windows 2000?
