We lost the drive on which SQL Server was installed on due to a disk corruption. I'm trying to reinstall SQL Server but keep getting the following message:

Setup cannot find your Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 installation at the location specified by HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLSERVER\setup\sqlpath

I have removed this MSSQLSERVER folder from regedit but still get the same message.

Any ideas on what I can do?

You must remove all registry entry about MSSQLSERVER, then you can install one new version. Or you can try some recovery toolbox, these tools can help you.
