Any ideas why SQL 2005 would flag the following as not meeting the minimum specs?
AMD Athlon XP 2000 (1.67 GHz)
1 GB ram
70 GB free hard drive space

What's the message displayed.

There are plenty of other requirements to meet.

To reiterate ...What's the OS and SP level ... Use My Computer|Properties ... Is it possibly Windows 2003 Web Edition ?

The message you indicate is somewhat misleading because I received the exact same message when trying to install on the 'Web' addition - it was a quad CPU server with 4 Gb of RAM as well !

We're running 2000 here, so my info may be outdated, but ...

You can't install a full-blown instance of SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP, but just client tools or only the bare minimum components to ensure a client connection to a SQL database. Isn't that still true for SQL Server 2005?
