You can't. Create virtual machine with supported by MSSQL 2000 OS, it will be Windows 2003 for (MSSQL 2000 SP3) and install there.

I have to ask by WHY do you want to install SQL Server 2000? It hasn't been supported for a very long time. You should really be using more recent technology. Plus, using Windows 2003 server, or a similar dated OS, is just making the problem worse.

For example, none of these services/OS's would have been patched against Spectre or Meltdown, and I'm sure there are other similar vulnerabilities that still exist on those old editions as well. Using something like as old as that brings huge security flaws into the mix.

Disabling Selected SQL Server 2000 Query Analyzer Options

Certain SQL Server Query Analyzer options must be manually disabled in SQL Server 2000 for every Windows(R) account that is used to run the Query Analyzer tool.

To disable these options, do the following steps:

Start the SQL Server 2000 Query Analyzer. Click Start -> Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server -> Query Analyzer.
In the Connect to SQL Server window, enter the database server name in the SQL Server field. Leave the Start SQL Server if it is stopped check box clear. Type your password. Click OK.
From the Query Analyzer window, click Tools -> Options.
Click the Connection Properties tab.
Make sure the only check box selected is Set arithabort. (Clear the Set concat_null_yields_null check box and the Set ansi_defaults check box. Make sure this clears all seven check boxes underneath it).
Click Apply, then OK to close the window.
Close the Enterprise Manager and SQL Server Query Analyzer applications.

Apart from none of that will work on Windows 10, Rachel; SQL Server 2000 cannot be run on Windows 10. Windows 10 wasn't even a glint in Microsoft's eye when SQL Server 2000 came out.
