SQL 2005 Upgrade on a 64 bit machine

I'm upgrading from SQL 2000 SP4 to SQL 2005 on a 64 bit OS ( windows 2003). I've installed the new software and asked it to upgrade the default instance on the machine. The install goes well, but then using the new SQL 2005 management tool, the default instance is still listed as v 8.0.2039... Not a v9.0.342 as I would expect. It didn't upgrade.

I tried uninstalling SQL 2000 but that was a disaster, nothing ran and I had to reinstall it.

What gives? Why didn't this work to upgrade the default instance?
