  Best place to start is to search in BOL for 'clustering'.

  Lots of good reading there - BOL is always a good place to start.

  You also need to make sure that you have the correct licensing.  You need Win2k advanced server on both nodes and one license of SQL2k Enterprise Edition for Active/Passive.  Just thought I would mention it since you just mentioned that you had win2k server and sql2k.  The price tag can be a bit daunting.
