Hello,
You can start SQL Server services from 'Services'.
Go To>run and type services.msc hit enter.
You will see all services running on your system.Right click on desired service and start it.Your can set service property as Autometic,Manual or Disable.Setting as Autometic service will autometicaly start when your system turn on.
But i think your SQL is not properly installed.Installation of SQL server2005 is something typical then 2000.
