Unfortunately, SQL Server Express edition does not have import/export wizard. You will need to have at least workgroup edition (or developer edition) if you would like to use that wizard.

You can create a linked server in the express pointing to your SQL2K database and then
using select * into <new_table> from linkedserver.databasename.owner.tablename you can import it into SQL Express
