    Do I have to use one of the two methods "In Place Upgrade" Or "Side by Side Upgrade" if I'm putting SQL 2005 on a new server that doesn't have SQL 7.0 or 2000 or it?  But later I may take production data (SQL 2000) and move it over to the new server which has SQL 2005 ?

    The installation will detect if you have any prior versions of SQL Server, and will present you with the appropriate options. You are simply installing a fresh SQL Server 2005, so you are not 'upgrading' from a previous version.

    Before you move SQL Server 2000 databases across to 2005, always run the upgrade advisor against your 2000 server to see if there are any issues when it comes to upgrading the databases.
