Install 2000 after 2005 ?

My dev. machine already has SQL Server 2005 (sp2) installed.

Can I install SQL Server 2000 on this machine as well (as a named instance) ? Or does 2000 need to be installed before 2005 ?

Thanks.

It should not be affected as SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 can be installed side by side successfully on the same machine. Of course, one of them must be a named instance with different instance name. You cannot make both of them be the default instances.

I have seen some issue when u install SQL 2000 after SQL 2005. what i feel is it is not recommended and it can create problem..
