You can do an upgrade from ME to 2000, but, you will find that anybody who
knows anything about upgrading never does it. Its best to do a clean
install and start from scratch. Upgrading can cause no end of problems.

Some may report initial success stories by upgrading, but you should expect to
have problems as time goes on. It's recommended that you do a clean install
since Windows Me is not a candidate for upgrading to Windows 2000.
See this article for more details.

But you could always convert the file system afterwards using convert
from a CMD prompt.
eg
"
Converts FAT volumes to NTFS.
CONVERT volume /FS:NTFS [/V]
volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
mount point, or volume name.
/FS:NTFS Specifies that the volume to be converted to NTFS.
/V Specifies that Convert should be run in verbose
mode."

It's not technically possible to perform an upgrade from WinMe to
Win2K. You'll have to back up your data and start with a clean hard
drive.
Windows Me to Windows 2000 Upgrade Is Not Supported
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;272627.
Before proceeding, though, you'd better take a few minutes to
ensure that there are Win2K device drivers available for your PC's
specific components. There may not be, if the PC was specifically
designed for WinMe. Have you made sure the PC is capable of
supporting Win2K? This information will be found at the PC's
manufacturer's web site, and on Microsoft's Hardware Compatibility
List (http://www.microsoft.com/hcl/default.asp). Also bear in mind
that computers designed for, and sold with, WinMe very often fail to
meet Win2K's much more stringent hardware quality requirements.

ME was released AFTER Windows 2000 and thus is NOT in the "upgrade path"
from Windows ME. The prefered method is a HD format and clean install to
ensure a stable operating system. As such all apps will need to be
reinstalled also.
