  I will need to use a unique instance name. Do i first need to install SQL 2005 using the Default Instance name, than install using my unique Instance name?

  Any help appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Kerry

  no.

  If you install a default instance, its name will be the servername

  (servername\mssqlserver)

  You can install a named instance without having a default instance.
