i have a 2 node windows 2008 cluster.
i installed both sql 2005 & sql 2008 on it.
now i want to uninstall the sql 2005 instance. the uninstall process finished successfully. i rebooted the whole cluster. i can see the sql 2005 resource group gone in 'failover cluster management'. The LUN which contentes the files also offline now.
but when i run sql server installation center->tool->installed sql server features discovery report, i still see that sql 2005 instance in the report!!! if the LUN is gone, how the SQL 2005 possible running?!

Go to each node type Start --> Run --> services.msc
Check if SQL Server 2005 is installed and running.
Verify the service path and compare to what you find in the cluster administrator.
You can run a batch file to uninstall if the GUI is giving you a hard time.
