Create an ISO and use that.

Re: need help on windows 2000
If the original disc doesn't boot, nor on your real system, creating an ISO will be useless. There is another thing you can do though. Copy the files to your hard drive, grab nLite, install .NET framework so it works and create a bootable ISO with it.

Re: need help on windows 2000
Are you mounting your host's CD/DVD drive on the guest?
Settings>CD/DVD-ROM>'Mount CD/DVD Drive' selected>'Host CD/DVD Drive' selected, then put the Win2K CD in your host's CD drive and start the VM. The FAQ link that Sasquatch posted is recommended reading.
