i did this install so i can develop an asp application that uses the 2008 filesteaming.

i downloaded and installed the trial 180 day sqlserver 2008, all looked good except i don't seem to have a 'full' 2008 instance installed/running. see http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/4843/2008discoveryrpt.jpg for the discovery report
of what is installed, the hpwja, (hp jetadmin) and sqlexpress (visual studio 2005) were already installed so 2008 seems to have taken them under its wing so to speak.
it looks like i have 2008 but see http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/9619/2008mgtstudio.jpg , pic from the management studio,
there is no 2008 instance, just the hpwja and sqlexpress????
if 2008 is truly there, what do i have to do to access it, so i can create a database, tables etc, etc???

one thing i noticed on the install, see third attachment. it didn't have all the categories that a ms install video indicated, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd299415.aspx,
i think one of which included filestream, so even though the install was very long and detailed it seems to have fallen short somewhere or i'm missing something very basic here
