Hi Expertts,
I got a requirement to install a new SQL Server 2012 on a server where it already had SQL Server 2008 R2 installed.
My question is:
what care i have to take before and after installing the new instance.
The first instance is installed on C:
can i install the second instance on the same drive leaving the default location as it is?

When you install a named instance, the installer will automatically set the install directory name to something like C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.{instance name} or something like that. You'll have the opportunity to review the install location so you can double-check manually.
The tricky part is what happens after installing. I'll recommend at least looking at the max server memory setting on each instance and divide accordingly.

The installation will take care of the install directories.
You should take care to make sure things like max memory is properly configured for each instance.
