I uninstalled Windows 2008 SP2 to get around an issue with an ERP database. Turns out it wasn't SP2, it was something else. Now I get an error code 8000FFFF when trying to re-apply SP2. I have tried every fix I can find related to the error code. Is there a for sure fix here? I have an Acronis image of my server before I did the updates. Is restoring the Windows directory all I need to do to get the server back to a pre SP2 state? Or do I need to restore additional folders? Do I need to restore the entire volume? Need help badly!

I should mention that I downloaded the 577mb file on the MS website and tried to run it as Administrator. I got the same error with the only difference it was a "Catastrophic Error" Thank you
