I just downloaded and installed Sql 2005 from the MS site.
I see that my instance of Sql 2000 is still on the same computer.
I assumed that Sql 2005 would upgrade but it didnt. Should I
simply delete my instance of 2000 or will this cause complications?

That depends on how you opted to do your installation: as a new instance
or an upgrade. Since you say that you downloaded SQL 2005 from MS,
I assume that you installed SQL Express, which by default is installed
as a named instance, SQLEXPRESS.
I would keep both instances, as you may want to compare SQL 2005 to
SQL 2000.
