Disk2Vhd does not Support Windows 2000. This tool uses VSS and VSS is not available at Windows 2000.
Only offline conversion is possible with Disk2Vhd

Make sure that your grandpa server is running on W2K SP4.
Shutdown the server and take off the hard disk.
Install the hard disk on a computer with Windows XP (anything above that is OK too)
Boot up the second computer and make a note of the new volumes.
Download Disk2VHD exe from here
Create VHDs as you want. You can save them to a local drive or if you have a fast network (from my experience 1 Gbps LAN connection would save a 40 GB hard disk in a matter of 15 minutes via network) you can use an existing shared folder. I still prefer to save to VHD format for Windows 2000.
