Goodmorning.
I'd like to thank in advance everyone taht could help me out with this
issue.
If you need my personal email address you could ask. (NoSpam)
I have a problem re-installing a named instance of Sql server 2000.
Compaq Ml350 with 6 phisical disks, 3 logical disks in raid 0+1.
Disk 0 with Windows 2000 and bin sql server
Disk 1 with data/logs sql server named instance
Disk 2 with data/logs sql server default instance.
Logical Disk 1 burned (both phisical disks) with no backup (the server
was not in production).
I replaced the disks with new ones and now i'm trying to get the named
instance back re-installing.
And it keeps me giving an error: here my steps.
I followed instrutions at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;290991
I deleted named instance directory structure c:\program
files\Microsoft SQL Server\Mssql$<namedinstance>
I deleted the following registry entries:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLServer$<namedinstance>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SQLSERVERAGENT$<namedinstance>
I edited the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\InstalledInstances deleting named instance value
I deleted all <namedinstance> references under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\
I updated mdac with ver 2.8
I updated the whole server with windowsupdate
I stopped all unuseful services prior installation (snmp, antivirus,
web, onepoint/mom, default sql)
I get ever this error: (editet infos about servername and
instancename)
Please Help! :)
