Installing SQL Server on Windows 2003 Server

When I try to install SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2003, I get the message
that SQL Server 2000 SP2 and below are not supported.
How do I install SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2003?
You just install it (the dialog is a warning, not a halt), and then install
SP3a immediately afterward.

|||That's what I thought but when I tried doing so the installation proceeded
and then displayed an error that the Full Text service failed to install.
This was the only error I received.
I rebooted the machine and saw that the SQL Server folders had been
installed but the services had not been created. I tried to uninstall SQL
Server from the Add/Remove programs but SQL Server was not in the list. I
then inserted the SQL Server CD and tried to uninstall. There was no option
to uninstall. There was however, an option to install a new instance of SQL
Server.
Thus I appear to be in the worst situation: 1) I cannot uninstall because
neither CP or the SQL Server CD recognizes the failed installation and 2) I
cannot reinstall because the SQL Server CD thinks the default installation
already exists. (I cannot installed a named instance of SQL Server for use
with MS CRM)
BTW, I installed the standard edition of SQL Server with Mixed Mode
authentication to run under a specific domain administrator account.
Does anyone have any idea how I can clean up this failed installation?
