Installing and setting up SQL Server 2008

Hi all
I'm doing an SQL course and I want to be able to practice at home.
I've been given all the files by the course tutor to do so and was told I needed to install SQL Server 2008 in order to run the SQL queries.
I've run the files on the USB stick to set up the databases, course notes, etc without a problem.
I've also installed SQL Server 2008.
The only thing I can't do is get it to recognise my machine as where the databases are kept.
Anyone got any idiot-proof instructions or have I installed the wrong software for running SQL queries on a home PC?
