(New to SQL Server Installs)

I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on a WinXP-SP2
workstation and can see some enterprise databases on the network just
fine.

My problem is I cannot register a local database on the local drive for
testing/education purposes.
(I accepted all of the defaults on the install and thought all was
well.)

There are a couple of small databases that are in development in our
group and I need to work on when offline from the network.

Short of uninstalling the whole product and doing it over, what steps
can I take to remedy this so I will be able to work with DB's locally?

Thanks.
