1. What are your issues/problems in Home?
2. No can do. That would be considered a down grade.

No you can not do this
because it is a Down Grade
you should make a new installation only

Greetings --

It cannot be done. There is no "rollback" to Win2K. To replace
WinXP with an earlier OS, you'll have to boot from the appropriate
boot disk, format the hard drive, and install. There is no supported
downgrade path or technique.

Simply boot from the Win2K installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and/or format the system partition as
part of the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the
order of boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)

You have to back up data, and format the drive if you are to replace
either type of XP by Win2000
