Installing SQL 2005 Developer Edition

I want to install SQL 2005 developer edition (and want to keep a
default instance of SQL 2000 running on my machine)
Couple of months ago I installed VS.net 2005 edition and it installed
SQL express edition? So I went to Add/Remove programs and removed SQL
express (along with management studio express).
Now, when I started to install SQL 2005 developer edition it is giving
me option for either default instance or named instance. If I select
default instance it won't allow me install because there is already a
default instance for SQL 2000.
Is there any issues installing named instance of SQL 2005? Sometimes
based on my past experience, it is best to install a default instance
because code samples and other things won't work if you install named
instance.
Please advice.
It's not posible to have SQL Server 2000 default instance and SQL Server
2005 default instance on the same machine. One of them should be named
instance in this case
