| I was using SQL Server 2000 (query analyser, enterprise manager etc).The installation was done by the institute where I did a beginners course on Sql 2000. I was accessing data saved on my machine. Now the machine has developed some problems and all the data/software is lost. I need to get SQL 2000 installed on another machine - I do not have any installation CD or something. I did lookup microsoft site(download section) but the different versions, patches etc are beyond me. Can someone explain in simple english how I can get SQL 200O running again (or point to some link which explains the same ? )Please help |

I have read through the readme file but unable to comprehend Pls helpquote:
