Re: Win SBS 2003 R2 installation documents?

In article <D25387D0-CC86-44CA-979A-2FE822FE7411@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
Dhow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx says...

I've downloaded documents from Microsoft regarding installing R2
Technologies and Premium Technologies (because I owned Win SBS 2003 SP1 Prem
Edt).
But those documents don't really explain step-by-step on how to un-install
SQL Server 2000 & it's Instances, and then on how to install new SQL Server
2005 Workgroup Edition & it's existing Instances into new SQL Server.
Because I've already read some problems will occur if the SQL Server 2000
SP4 is to be uninstalled.

Susan Bradley has done this and - as usual - has produced EXCELLENT
documentation of the process:

2005-workgroup-from-SQL-2000.aspx
