  Did you choose a different installation directory?

  Did you try to uninstall it via Programs and features? (Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> SQL Server 2005 -> uninstall)

  If you installed explicitly in the same directy, having same instance name, the best thing would be to just disable the 2005 services.

  If anybody has a diffrent opinion bout this. Please correct me!
