I have a version of 2000 already installed which I still need. However, I recently installed 2005, something did not install right, so I was forced to de-install it. However, when I go to sql configuration manager, my named instances in 2005 are still there.
Is there anyway to do a complete de-install of 2005? Maybe a step by step on what to take of first?
Just another question, how can you install 2005 so that it will run side by side with 2000 without any conflicts.
Thanks in advance,
SteveWhen you install Sql 2005 on a machine that has Sql 2000 already installed, Sql 2005 installation will over-write all sql 2000 files. You should backup all your Sql 2000 database( just in case) and install a named instance of sql 2005. By the way you can use sqll2000 database thru sql 2005 management studio. I have sql 2005 on my machine and loaded 2000 database on it, works fine. Since sql 2005 arrived i have not worked with sql 2000.

Hi Kushpaw,
We have installed an instance of SQL 2005 on a server that is running SQL 2000 - but I can not get the SQL 2005 instance started - any ideas ?
