    A full new instance with a different instance name, separate services, etc?

    You install SQL again and when it asks for default or named instance, you give it the name of the instance you want to create.

    Hi Gail,

    Would your suggestion be applicable to SQL 2005 Standard Edition ( Version 9.2.3042.00) ?

    I'm using SSMS (SQL Server Mang. Studio) (see screenshot below)

    As you can see under "Registered Servers" I only have the Server where SQL2005 is hosted on.

    How do I add an "instance"? Do I have to have to create a place on the server to install 2005 as a separate "Registered Server"?
