SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility
Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online.
now I'm not able to install SQL Server itself, just the client components, does any one know a solution to this thanks.

The servers from SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition can only be installed onto a Server OS (Windows 2000 SP4 Server, or W2k3 SP1 Enterprise) and cannot be installed onto Windows XP.
You may be able to install the Tools from Enterprise Edition onto XP, but that is it. You can install Developer Edition to XP if so desired...
