Before you uninstalled SHAREPOINT(or the other instances for that matter) do
you have backups of the system and user databases?

Baby steps.
I now have a server that does not allow me to re-install SQL2005,
What do you mean when you say that?
Error messages?

I have been fighting this for several days.
I have SBS 2003 R2 Premium on a Dell PowerEdge 2900, dual processor that
has been in production since November 06, running fine.
The server-based applications that were running fine are: McAFee EPO,
enterprise anti-virus and personal firewall, Backup Exec 11.d, SQL 2005
and ISA 2004 servers (the editions that came with Premium). Abount a
month ago, MAS90 from Sage was installed by another consultant. At that
time, the admin password for McAfee stopped working. I inquired about
the MAS90 install and was told it had no impact on SQL. I later
remembered, that MAS90 runs on Pervasive SQL, but "should" run okay
side-by-side. At that time, I realized that EPO would not let me in, but
I thought that it was because I had gotten clever with the admin password
and needed to track it down.
Wednesday, the CFO asked me to add a new PC to the antivirus push. So,
it was time to resolve the issue. We opened a case with McAfee about the
malfunctioning password. We could either send in a technical report, or
simply "remove and install the server, which would be the quick and easy
way".
I unistalled the EPO server via Add Remove Programs. I re-installed EPO
and selected to use the existing instance - because my SQL2005 install
had upgraded all my instances.
ISA2004 stopped passing internet traffic, maybe before I re-installed
EPO.
I uninstalled EPO. Re-installed with a new instance of the server. No
change.
I un-installed ISA2004. The internet came available. But not passive
ftp. (I had to clear the check for read-only ftp in ISA2004, but do not
know where that might be in the remaining def Windows firewall)
I attempted to uninstall SQL2005 and start from base SQL. I removed the
BKUPEXEC, SHAREPOINT, EPOSERVER instances believing I could reinstall
them when needed.
I followed kb909967 to manually uninstall SQL2005.
I followed kb829114 to remove and re-install Sharepoint and companyweb.
I now have a server that does not allow me to re-install SQL2005, does
not let me re-install EPO and does not let me install Backup Exec.
How can I un-install my way back to sanity? Thanks.
