SQL SERVER 2005 - 2 CD

  • Hi

    I have got the SQL server 2005 enterprise, but it have 2 CDs, so what are the differences between CD1 and CD2? and so which one should i install first? or is it necessary to install both two or just need to install one of them?

    And about my original sql 2000 database, can i just attach it's MDF file into the sql 2005 engine, or which import wizard can load the sql 2000 MDF into sql 2005? or do i need to keep the sql 2000 engine before do this?

    Thx

    Disk 1 is the server, disk 2 is the client if i remember correctly.

    attach/restore from sql 2000 to sql 2005 and it will do upgrade.

  • Actually I have got SQL SERVER 2005 as ‘dump’ of 2 CDs. I can install all the components from dump of CD1 (SQLSRVRS) without any problem.

    But the trouble starts when I want to install components form dump of CD2(SQLTOOLS). It gives me following error

    “The following components that you chose to install are already installed on the machine. To view a report of available options and alternatives click on Details.”

    None of the components are getting installed from CD2.

    I can only use the ‘SQL SERVER Management Studio” after above installation.

    --- The machine does not get configured as a ‘SQL SERVER’

    Any way out??
