Not from a backup file. You can only attach data or log files from SQL 7.0 (or 2000) to a SQL 2000 server. Anything earlier than SQL 7.0 would have to be exported from a running server of that version and then imported to the new. Or you could have that old server upgraded using the Upgrade Wizard during SQL 2000 installation, and it will convert the data (only 6.5 can go to 2000, if you have 6.0 you'd need to install SQL 7.0 to upgrade it)
