You don't really uninstall the old OS, you delete it. But what exactly you
delete depends on how you installed XP.
If you did an upgrade install, Windows 2000 is already removed, and you may
just have to remove one line from the boot.ini.
If you did a parallel install or set up a dual boot system, you will be
carefully identifying the OS folder you want to remove, and finally editing
the boot.ini.
More information as to how, exactly, you did the install would be helpful.

In XP, press WinKey-Break,(or start/run 'sysdm.cpl'), Advanced Tab, "Start Up
and Recovery" area, Settings button, then edit the old line out with the edit
button. Reboot, and delete the files for the old OS. Don't format C:, you
need stuff in C: root.

This of course destroys all data on the disk.
And this could be rather a bad plan if the XP CD is an upgrade CD and if the
original OS CD is not available.
