Hi santhanalakshmi

Hmm, not much to go on here. I would suggest that you make sure that your version of XP will support SQL Server 2008.

If you have something like Windows XP Professional SP2 x64, you should be fine. If you have an Itanium processor, you should double-check it is supported.

Kind regards
