Sample database not found?

I install the SQL 2005 Evaluation. I selected to install samples and documentation during the installation wizard. It finished successfully but I could not find the sample databases on the SQL Management Studio. Why?

Thanks.

Joe.

I have never used the trial version but look in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data to see if the sample database files exist. If they do you can simply attach them via Mgmt Studio.

Derek gives good advice so I'd try his option first. If the files are not there though, then I'd go to the Control Panel, to Add/Remove Programs, and Modify your SQL Server 2005 instance.

I cannot any sample databases on the path you mentioned. Can I download them individually?

Thanks.
