Overlapped I/O operation is in progress

SQL Server 2000. I removed SQL Server using Add/Remove Programs, rebooted
the server after the removal and now I am reinstalling SQL Server when I get
this error. Any suggestions on what is happening and how to fix it? I am
really a newbie to SQL.Anne West wrote:

Google has plenty hits for this error message. I did not read many of
them but it seems a general error message.
Also, why did you deinstall SQL Server in the first place?

robert|||The original install got corrupt [don't ask!!], I removed it and
inadvertantly installed a local instance. The SQL server is behind a
firewall and a local instance will not work for the company needs. After
much discussion, it was agreed to remove the local instance and start over.
I get to the point of entering the number of licenses and then the error pops
up. I only had 3 weeks training before my predecessor left. I will look at
Google. Thanks for the suggestion.
