microsoft.public.sqlserver.setup:

Hi

I would like to remove sql server from my system in total and
start again with a fresh set of disks.

I tried to remove using add/remove programs but the setup fails
each time.

Is there a way to remove this program in full - i have so many
attempts to install on my system now and I would just like a
fresh install.

thanks for any help or links to websites.

Doug
