Problem with SQL instance during installation

Tags: Microsoft, Office Communicator, 2007
Total rookie about this product. Need to test it, get familiar and either use it or discard it. I am following the installation steps of the Deployment Wizard and I am stuck on step 2.

The Server is a SBS 2003 Premium with SQL 2005 Workgroup Processor Edition on it. It is our TEST environment.

Step 2 is "Create Enterprise Pool . Run for each pool. Creates Active Directory objects and settings for Office Communicator and the SQL Server database used by the Office Communicator Server pool to store user data and configuration settings". When executed we get to the screen shown on the attached screenshot and we are stuck with the last question: SQL Server instance. I have used the listsqlsvr utilities and it shows TEST\BACKUPEXEC, which is the one created during the installation of Symantec Backup Exec, but no matter what I type I get the error shown in the 2nd attachment.

I do not know what to enter there. I do not know if a pre-existent instance is needed. Any help will be appreciate it.

Thanks in advance
