Convert sql 7 file to msde 2000

is there any way I can convert a sql7 file to msde 2000.
I don't have sql 7 running, I have msde 2000 running
A detached SQL7 mdf file can be attached to SQL 2000 with an automatic
conversion to the newer platform. The same is true with backups.

|||Hi,
I read this thread and just want to be sure, because I have a similar problem.
I have the SQL 7 Version already running on my system, because I installed it with an application I can't identify yet.
Now I need to install MSDE2000A, because another (new to install) application demands it.
Do I have to uninstall SQL 7 before or will the installation of MSDE2000A upgrade SQL 7. Or will there be both working?
Will the old application run with the new MSDE?
I'd be happy to learn about all this.
