yes, just bootup with your XP upgrade CD

In order to "upgrade" an existing Windows 2000 installation to
Windows XP, you'll need to purchase either a "Retail Upgrade"
or "Retail Full" version of Windows XP Professional.

Windows XP Home Edition cannot upgrade over Windows 2000.
It would have to be installed "clean" after reformatting your hard drive.
