We had a server crash (bad hard drive) and I re-installed server from tapes (backup exec 12.5)everything works OK except for SQL server.
If you re-installed and every thing is working fine except SQL server, If Sql server not working then what is working fine?
I tried to un-install it at program & Features and it looked like it ran, but now when I try to reinstall it doesn't give me any features to install. That page in the install is blank. I went to the setup command line and tried to uninstall the feature and I got a error message that said the items (SQL, etc) weren't installed.
SQL Server 2008 running on windows server 2008 R2
Any Idea where i can go from here
As per my expereance SQL server not properaly un-installed from system,
can you posth the exact error, you should check also bootstrap folder
