Solution:-You can't toggle between them. You can't have them both installed on the same partition. If you want dual boot you should create 2 partitions (2 disk drive letters) and install XP on one and 2000 on the other.

Remove Windows 2000 from your existing installation. You may have impacted XP and if that is the case, boot to the XP CD and do a reinstall of XP. If the registry is impacted you will need to remove the existing partition.
