Very Computer

Hi friends,

Im have done my Uni final year project using SQL 2000 evalauation edition,
now  the evaluation edition had expired, I had search the web for the
solution and found this article
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q281/5/74.ASP but it says,
run the setup from a retail version of SQL 2000 CD and Select the "Upgrade
your existing installation" option. When i run the setup using the developer
edition, that option was disabled in the setup screen, i only can either do
a New Instance setup or Advance setup.

Can anyone pls help me out in this, i need to recover my database so badly..

Thanking in advance

The evaluation edition is the "Enterprise Edition".

Try running setup from the Enterprise Edition.

If all you have is the Developer, you should(!) be able to install it as a
second instance, then attach to the database files you were using with the
eval version. Look for "attaching databases" in the SQL Books online. Hope
that helps!
