"downgrade" edition ?

Hi
I save SQLServer 7.0 enterprise edition installed on NT
4.0 PDC.
And now i want to install SQLServer 2000 standard edition
and upgrade default instance. When i run SQLServer 2000
setup, the option "Upgrade..." is not available.
I think it happens because different version: enterprise
and standart (or not ?)
How i can "downgrade" SQLServer edition ?
Or i should backup all 7 databases, install SQLServer 2000
and restore all databases from backup,include master (to
preserve logins)?I can point you in the direction of a good article on this subject :-
