Is there anyway for me to install SQL Server 2K on Windows XP? If not, what's my best bet, changing OSs or SQL versions?
thanx in advance,
mike

According to Microsoft's system requirements:

You cannot run SQL2K Enterprise or Standard editions on XP, but the trial, developer and personal editions can. I don't believe WindowsXP is a server-level OS anyway, if you're thinking of a production-level installation you should stick with Windows 2000 Server or higher.
