SQL Server 2008 Upgrade install non cluster issue

I am trying to upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to SQL 2008 standard and it tells me that the sql server is part of a cluster and can not continue. This server is a standalone server and has never had clustering installed.

This server is running windows server 2003 R2. This server was upgraded from windows 2000. I think it may have had the admin tools installed. I think the installer is picking up cluster administrator but i can not seem to remove it.

Any suggestions would help.

Thanks

Ironically the server ended up crashing a few days later. Lost 2 drives on RAID 5. I ended up rebuilding the server and used SQL Server 2008 from the start. Probably better any ways. Thanks for everyone's help.
