When you start the Windows XP Home install, the setup will ask if you would like to format your hard drive. You can, if you don't intend to keep any of your exisiting files on that hard drive.

You should be able to insert the CD - restart - watch for the prompt to boot from CD and press enter. Wipe 2000 off of there.
Better yet - here are instructions:

Read this from Microsoft.
If it were me, I would backup any files you want to be sure to save to external storage.
Then, I would uninstall Win2000, Restart, then go for a clean XP install.
