Reinstall of Intranet/Companyweb failing

Original Issue that caused me to notice problem (followed by steps taken
todate):

The problem below started between 12/5-12/13/2006. I was getting Server
Performance Reports via Exchange Server successfully through 12/4/2006. I
have no Server Performance reports between 12/5-12/12/2006 and when they
resumed, I get the following message in the Server Performance Reports email
(still has attachments). Note: I ran out of hard disk space on root drive on
12/8/2006.

***** Message in Server Performance Reports EMAIL when receiving ********
Server Error in '/Monitoring' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom
error settings for this application prevent the details of the application
error from being viewed.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable
on the local server machine, please create a <customErrors> tag within a
"web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current
web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode"
attribute set to "RemoteOnly". To enable the details to be viewable on remote
machines, please set "mode" to "Off".

MY CONCLUSION:
Switching MSDE to SQL Server 2000 did not change/help anything
Key seems to be
stsadm.log The server instance specified was not found. Please specify the
server's address and port.
Eventlog
MsiInstaller: Event ID: 1015 domainname\administrator: Failed to connect to

I am now stuck. I have taken many actions to correct this problem, all
revolving around KB829114. When I do the Add/Remove SBS Server Tools
(Maintainance) and Intranet (Install), I always get a Red X on Server tools
in install & always get event 1015. Sharepoint never completes its install
correctly, companyweb directory is created empty, Registry Key Intranet is
created without all the entries, etc.

What should I try next?
