I am trying to install a clean copy of SQL 2005 onto this server. It goes along fine until installing the "SQL Server Database Services" when I then get:
SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server] Login failed for user 'sa'. Refer to server logs and setup logs for more information. For details on how to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log Files" in SQL Server Books Online.
There did used to be SQL installed on this server, but we un-installed it. What do I need to do now to install a fresh copy of SQL?
Thanks!

Have you tried installing a named instance? Try that rather than the default instance to see if it works. If it does, then you likely have some issue with the old installation.
