installing SQL server 2000 and SQL server 7 on the same machine

can we install SQL server 2000 and SQL server 7 on the same machine.
is it possible?
any help will be appreciated
thanx in advanceHi,
You can install SQL 7 and SQL 2000 named instance in same machine. This will
allow both the services to run in parellel.
Only thing is SQL 2000 installation will overwrite your SQL 7 Query Analyzer
and Enterprise manager; But using the SQL 2000 tools
(Query Analyzer, Enterprise manager) you could connect to SQL 7 server.
Thanks

The SQL Server 2000 installation would be a named instance.
SQL Server 7.0 can not be installed on Windows 2003.
