No. You don't reinstall. You install. For every instance, you have to run the installation to install the instance.

heh, that's what i meant too.

normally when you are installing a named instance, you already have a default instance, so it's sort of a "reinstall" in that you are running the installer again. just a lame attempt at justifying my response.
