If you downloaded and burned the cd, it could be a MD5 sum error (checks the files for completeness) or a SCSI/SATA drive incompatibility.
Read throught this thread (http://forums.xandros.com/viewtopic.php?t=21782&highlight=error+code+2000) and see if any of those apply to you.

You're suggesting a link to an unaswered question where it was completly side-stepped and suggested to install Mepis instead?

yerrmann, could you let us know what hardware you have?

Also, the second post on this thread (http://forums.xandros.com/viewtopic.php?t=11467&highlight=error+code+2000) are excellent first steps.

set Non Plug & Play in the BIOS
Press shift when booting from CDROM and then go by the down arrow to custom setup and press TAB instead of Enter.
Type: ide=nodma after the "Install_custom"
If you still have problems add "pci=0" after "ide=nodma" seperated by space
If you still have problems the add these arguments too "apm=off nousb nosound acpi=off"

I never said that was the answer. I was just throwing water on the fire :)
