Download the deployment guide and read it.
In a nutshell with the limited info you gave...
You will need to install the new Server, make sure you are at AD2003. Setup a Connection Agreement, then use the Exchange 2003 migration wizard/tools.
That is the gist of it.

You need an AD Domain, in the first place.
Then you need to upgrade the AD Schema, using setup /forestprep
WAIT
Then you need to do a setup /domainprep
(from the Exchange 2000 CD)
WAIT
Install the ADC on a DC.
Now you can install the Exchange 2000 Server into the same Exchange Organization and Site as the Exchange 5.5 Server.
Configure Connection Agreements on the ADC.
Replicate Exchange 5.5 Reciepient Information to AD.
WAIT
Move the mailboxes using AD Users and Computers
BE HAPPY (with your brand new Exchange Server)
PS: Exmerge must be used when moving mailboxes across different Organizations and Sites. If this is one of your requirements, well, use exmerge instead and GOOD LUCK ;-)

Sorry, replace 2000 with 2003 and as jayca said: you can use the wizards ;-)

Relax, in 2003 everything is even easier.
And you do not need a 2000 CD, puuuh.
And read the deployment guide or the help files during Exchange 2003 Setup, they are quite helpful
