XP Pro certainly does upgrade 2000 Pro. Start > Run > type msconfig > click
the boot.ini tab, then check all boot paths. It's self-explanatory after
that.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if you did a clean install, you should at
that time no longer have Win2k on your machine or any data pertaining to it.
In my mind, a "clean install" includes formatting the drive, possibly wiping
it, and installing the new OS from scratch. Is this what you did? If so,
I'm curious how legacies of Win2k would be hanging around.
