During my original installation and upgrade from the
Desktop Engine to the SQL Database, there was an error in
the install. Now the system won't connect to the
database. I have tried everything and am willing to just
start over. But now the MSSQL(SharePoint) installation is
corrupt and won't un-install. Any suggestions? I just
want to remove and reinstall both the SharePoint 2.0
services and the database and start from scratch. The
last usable back-up on the sharepoint was from a pre-
release version that caused all these problems in the
first place, so I don't have a reliable working backup of
the SharePoint services.

Any help would be much appreciated.
