    Infact I have to add. Both sql server 8 and 2000 are one and the same.
    When i install sql server 2000 i have a message
    " Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition Server Component is not supported on this operating system only client components will be available for installation"

    Hence I cannot install properly. I installed only the client componets. Thereafter when I went through Enterprise Manager and tried to establish a connection, I failed. It said server does not exist.

    What to do now?

    I found out that if one has sql server 2000 standard editon the prerequisties are
    Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 with Service Pack 5 or later, Windows NT Server 4.0 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 5 or later, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.


    I have windows xp professional version on which i am installing sql server.
    Which of the above exists in my OS. Or which should I download.

    Thanks
