2K and 2K5 on Same Dev Box

Can SQL Server 2000 and 2005 coexist on the same development computer? Or do
I really need to have one or the other.
Thanks!Yes, they can both be on the same computer as different instances names.
Install SQL 2000 first.

have to modify that installation in any way, or can I just proceed now to
install 2K5 as a different instance?

"know" which particular installation of SQL Server is to be used? Do I have
to tell 2K to listen on one port while 2K5 listens on another port number -
and then specify the port number in my app's connection string? Or can it be
simpler than that?

If your 2K is you main instance you will access it through you computer
name most likely, with your second instance being accessible via the
slash notation, i.e. MACHINENAME\{INSTANCENAME}
If you don't remember which instance name you gave your SQL 2005
instance, just open up the SQL Server Service Manager (or start it if
you don't see it in the start bar), and use the server drop down to see
the name of your second (2005) instance.
Hope this helps

conversion of the database if I move it from 2K to 2K5?
