Delete Query

Can anyone help me with this error? I am trying to delete several
thousand records at a time, but for some reason I continue to get the
following error. I just applied SP3a for SQL2K hoping that would fix the
problem, but it has not. Thanks in advance.
delete [GA_SingleFamily] from (select top 500 * from [GA_SingleFamily]) as
stuff Where [GA_SingleFamily].ml = stuff.ml
