Interview Question in Sql Server 2005


 

Interview Question :: SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Connection to Server dialog - cannot proceed

I want to use SQL Server 2005 on my home PC. No networks, servers or anything. I've installed it and when I launch Management Studio, it shows a "Connect to Server" dialog.

I've tried entering various terms like 'localhost', 'local', my machine name etc. in the 'Server Name' box. There is no server listed in the drop-down box as well as when i try osql -L from command-line. Is there anything wrong with my install? What do I exactly need to do to get it up and running?

Thanks for specific instructions, please.
