how can i import the northwind DB into ms sql server 2005?

i hava tried installing the "SQL2000SampleDb" but the db is not

on the db list after the install

Make sure that you installed the DBs on the right instance you are connecting to. Additionally make sure that the script executed successfully. If you are not sure just rerun the script, the db will be dropped and recreated then.
