Hi,

When you look at this article and follow the steps you can install a named instance SQL 2000 SP2 on a 2003 cluster. After the installation you will have to install the SP3A for SQL and your cluster is ready.

You will need to make a named pipes alias. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;815431

Good luck,
Christian

No, I'm afraid MS don't provide for slipstreaming of SQL servicepacks
