MS SQL Server for the Desktop

I have a test database that needs to be installed on a laptop running XP Pro.
If memory serves me correctly, there is a free downloadable personal edition
of SQL server that will run on a laptop. Is there such a beast? If so what
is it called and what is the link to download it from.
ThanksIt's called MSDE.

Analyzer and your database is no more than 2GB in size then MSDE is what you
are looking for:
