Hi all

I have a server with SQL Server2000 databases in it..
Now i would like to install SQL Server 2005 on the same server with out disturbing SQL Server 2000 databases

I need to create a seperate instance for SQL Server 2005..

is it possible to have both the instances on the same server.

Thanks

Yes you can have both provided you install SQL 2005 as named instance.

And ensure the server has enough horsepower to handle two instances.
