TFS, SQL server 2000 and SQL server 2005

We have MS server 2003 with and SQL server 2000. I want to install on this computer TFS. But if I install SQL server 2005 standard edition, I have to use option - named instance. Then, when I am installing TFS, I receive error, that SQL server has to be a default server.

Is possible to solve this problem We want to try if TFS will be good solution for us. I don't want uninstall SQL server 2000 and move every database to new SQL server 2005.

Can you help me

    Team Foundation Server requires its SQL Server instance to be the default instance. I don't think there's a workaround for that, but I'll move this question to the Team Foundation Server Setup forum to ensure someone there has a chance to weigh-in.
