I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on my portable.
I have XP Professional and I have SQL Serve 2000 Developer Edition installed.
At the end of the installation, I noticed that SQL 2005 did NOT install a service (at least I don't find it in the services. But it just connects to the SQL 2000 service.
I decided NOT to install the example DB's to save some diskspace.
Also the installation procedure didn't ask me for an instance name.

What did I wrong?
And what do I have to do to install the SQL2005 service?

Thank you.

It sounds like you didn't install the server, but rather only the client tools. Perhaps you only have the client tools installer and not the server installer.

Thanks for the hint in the correct direction. I checked it out and indeed, the version my colleague gave me was only the client tools.
