| Hi,I have a problem with uninstalling multiple instances.I have installed multiple instances on a sql server and tried to patch them with SP2 all together. the update hung on me because I ran out of disk space so I assumed that the instances are now bad. Also I want to move the instances to another drive so I believe I will need to uninstall them all. The problem is using Add/Remove Programs does not uninstall the instances properly and after you uninstall the first instance you cannot use this anymore. This is further complicated by the fact I have working production instances on the server which I don't want to take offline if it can be help. I have seen som doco from Microsoft that uninstalls instances manually but it is only for a single instance and also looks like I will have to take my critical dbs offline which I only want to do in last resort.. any advice would be appreciated. |

| I think the only way for now is removing it and cleaning up registry manually. |
