Installting SQL Server 2k5

I have SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP professional OS.
I want to install SQLServer 2K5?
Do I need to to uninstall SQLServer2K before installing SQLServer 2k5 ?
What steps should be taken before and after SQL Server 2K5 installation?
Thanks,Hi,
You should be able to install SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000 side
by side.
I think you may need SP2 of XP Pro.
One important thing to watch out for is any old components left behind
by past builds of SQL Server 2005 or Visual Studio 2005. If they are
present you need to uninstall CAREFULLY and in the right order or you
can expect to hit problems.
