  Yes,

  We have a new server with sql 2000 installed and I'm told they now want sql 2005 instead (as the default instance)! I plan to uninstall sql 2000 and install sql 2005.  Are there any known gotchas or things to watch out for? 

   

  TIA,

  Bill

  I don't think there is any as long as uninstallation completed without any issues..

  If you get into any issues you can use the following article...
