Hi and welcome to Discussions,

Windows 2000 is not supported to be installed on Mac with BootCamp.
Simply said, it is too old and lacks some neede features for a succesfull install.

You can however use your pre-SP2 Xp and this instructions http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp to make yourself a XP SP2 install CD.

Or if you really need Windows 200 to run, have a look at the virtualization apps like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox.
VirtualBox is the only free app of these, the other two cost some cash.

Hope it helps

Stefan
