I initially tried to run the two together, but could not get 2000 to run reliably. Autodesk suggested that I upgrade to XP Pro. I have done this and 2000 now works without hassles, I still do not know the reason for the problems.
Running the compatability option in XP Home did not help either unfortunately. Sorry about the bad news.

Go to the Setup.exe (of Autocad 2000) file
Right click on it and go to Properties
Then click the Compatibility tab and where it says "compatibility mode" just click in the box under it and turn it to Windows 2000
Click OK
Run AutoCAD Setup.exe
It should work fine...just have to fake it out a bit.
