Installing a 2nd instance of SQL server

I am installing a 2nd instance of SQL 2000 to our existing development
server.
Do I need to stop the existing/default instance that is running prior to the
install and will the 2nd install need the server to be re-booted?
thanks
MeenalHi,
No need to stop the second instance. But it is recommended to restart the
SQL Server machine after the installation of SQL Server and Service Pack 4.
Thanks
