There is no direct upgrade path from Win 2000 to Win XP Home. Sadly the only available option is from Win 2000 to Win XP Pro...

Ah. Well it is listed in the MS knowledge base link in my first post.
Anyway here's how to access it..
Windows XP Setup automatically runs the Upgrade Advisor tool when you upgrade from a previous Windows operating system to Windows XP. You can also run the Upgrade Advisor tool manually by clicking Check System Compatibility on the Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP page that appears after you insert your Windows XP CD-ROM into your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
or you can also download it from Mocrosoft...

you need to boot from the CD, not install from inside your current version of windows.
