Windows Server 2003

Have client running Windows Server 2003.  There was a SQL error today.  Not allowing SQL to connect to their database.  Can SQL be deleted and reinstalled without the entire OS being installed.  Yes, I know it is way out of date.  They are going to purchase new server software, but need something top repair in the interim?

Yes, it is possible, although you should have the permissions such as usernames and passwords documented somewhere to restore connectivity. What version of SQL is it?

I knew that but was inquiring about probability because the software tech that runs on this server mentioned it?  Thanks
