The error message is telling you that you cannot install SQL server 2000 in Windows XP sp2. If you are trying to install a full version of Sql 2000, you will need to do so on a server based operating system (i.e MicroSoft Server 2003). You can use the free SQL Express edition for Windows XP. Microsoft makes this incompatible on purpose so you have to buy their more expensive server OS.
