    Just placed the SQL Server 2005 - Developer Edition into my Drive...

    I get prompted with the following options..

    This DVD contains 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit versions of this edition of SQL Server 2005. Click the link that matches your environment to begin

    x86-based operating systems

    x64-based operating systems

    Itanuim-based operating syystems

    I'm new to SQL Server... I just need to start learning how to use it... because it is being used at work... Don't need the all the features installed, just the normal table and query for the moment...

    I will be installing it on my PC... i

    Microsoft Windows XP - Home Edition - Version 2 - Service Pack 2

    My local Hard Drive remaining capacity is 12.6GB

    External Hard Drive remaining capacity is 11.0GB

    Tried looking everywhere for the answer... lol (even looked at YouTube for a simple installation video....

    Thanks for your help

    You want the x86 version. The rest of the process is fairly simple. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask. The more specific you can be the better.

    Also, make sure you update to service pack 2.

    At minimum, select

    SQL Server Database Services

    Workstation components, Books Online development tools

    Use the built-in system account

    Have all three start up

    If you find you want the other parts later on, you can always add them.
