Thank you. The result of the command as follows:

A good start is to install Service Pack 4 of SQL 2000, this is required
for an upgrade. (You have the RTM version of SQL 2000 right now). Next
you get your hands of installation media for SQL 2008 and run the upgrade.
Or simply install a new instance. (But you should apply SP4 on your
SQL 2000 instance anyway.)
