MSSQLServer

Hi
I have created a ghost of a system running SQL server 7 (on windows 2000 server).
When I try and start MSSQLServer I get the message:
Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt ot has been tampered with (unknown package id).
Any ideas on how I can fix this without rerunning setup.
Thanks
Conor
