Newbie in SQL server 2005

Good day. Is there any version of SQL server 2005(not include Express Edition) same as SQL server 2000 Personal edition ? I am planning to install new SQL server 2005 in my pc now. I am using Windows XP SP2 now. I tried to install to Entreprise Trial version, unfortunately it just works as client. Thank you in advance.Regards,Anson

SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is the replacement for MSDE & SQL Server Personal Edition.

See the following edition information:

Have a look into this link. This contains the minimum requirements for SQL 2005. On having a look into this you can decide which version can be installed on your machine

Note : For enterprise edition the OS required is Microsoft Windows 2003 server

Best is to use Sql Server 2005 Developer Edition if want to install on Windows Xp and want to use for development...
