According to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/previousversions/system-requirements.mspx">This Site</a> you need a Server OS for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition to install. XP will not work. ****************************************************************************** The only editions which you can install on a Workstation OS are Express, Personal and Developer. Workstation, Standard and Enterprise all require a Server OS to install.
