REQ:how does one run SQL 2000

I'm trying to install SQL server 2000 inside SBS 2000. Actually I
think I already did it. I just don't know how to run/start it up. I
want to upgrade my SQL 6.5 database backup into 2000.

I have the book SQL Server 2000 Administration by SYBEX.

Here is what I need to know:

The best book on installing SQL 2000 under SBS2000 for a beginner

How to start SQL once its installed

How to upgrade a 6.5 database backup into SQL 2000.

Actually a few good books will accomplish all of this but nothing
beats first hand knowledge from anyone who knows more than me.

There are plenty of books on MSSQL, although I haven't heard of one
relating to SBS specifically. This link may help:

NET START, the Services applet in Control Panel, Enterprise Manager,
or the MSSQL Service Manager in the Start menu.

You can't restore a 6.5 backup on a 2000 server, so you can either
upgrade the 6.5 installation in place, or use DTS to copy objects and
data over. Books Online has information on different upgrade options.

Don't forget the Books Online documentation - it's comprehensive, and
full of examples.
