What do you mean by "promoting the server"? (dcpromo? Or some other kind of promotion?) What do you mean by "cannot access the database"? What do you mean by "cannot start it"? What do you mean by "cannot uninstall SQL"?
What have you tried? What errors are you getting? Etc.

Now we cannot access the database, cannot start it, cannot uninstall SQL. Any clues on getting SQL off this box so we can reinstall Vipre and the other apps needing SQL????
