MitraMitra,
You should not install SQL Server 2005 beta 2 on a production system, and
there is always a risk that you might need to do a complete reinstall to get
things up and running again. That said, yes, you can install SQL Server 2005
side-by-side with SQL Server 2000. Read the release documentation with SQL
Server 2005 beta 2 for more information about specific issues.
