Now if you have an application that does not support named instances, that is an entirely different subject altogether...Sat, 17 Apr 2010 20:00:17 GMTJoie Andrewhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic905431-9-1.aspxIf you have SQL 2000 installed, you cannot install a default instance of SQL 2005. You would install a named instance, or upgrade your SQL 2000 instance to 2005.Sat, 17 Apr 2010 11:30:19 GMTSteve Jones - SSC Editorhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic905431-9-1.aspxthank you. Actually, i want to install default instance so that all my databases will be installed automatically to SQL server 2005. so, you mean if i installed sql server 2005 default instance, it will hold the same path?Sat, 17 Apr 2010 11:14:33 GMTsendtoibrahimhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic905431-9-1.aspxYou choose where you install each version. The named instance of 2005 will have nothing to do with the 2000 instance you have installed. If you upgrade, it will keep the settings.Sat, 17 Apr 2010 10:29:12 GMTSteve Jones - SSC Editorhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic905431-9-1.aspxHi, guys how are you doing? i have windows server 2003 and recently, i installed SQL server 2000 in drive "D" because i don't have more space in drive "C". and right now, i also want to install SQL server 2005 for reporting services. my question is, if i installed SQL server 2005, will it save with the same path of sql server 2000? because i like both sql server to be installed in " D" partition. please i need your help?Sat, 17 Apr 2010 10:12:20 GMTsendtoibrahim
