You need a third-party boot loader. I recommend XOSL -
it's free! After you've installed it, you must instruct it to
hide the two partitions from each other so that each disk
appears as drive C:.

You've installed Windows 2000 after Windows XP, as Windows 2000 is older than XP, it has changed some of the XP boot loader files so that they won't work ..
Try use the repair option on the Windows XP CD, and make sure it copies it's boot files to C:
