Tried installing express 2005 when installing the instance the installation bums out when configuring the SQL instance then reverts the setup

Ive tried multiple installs and same result.

Installed the server without the instance and it worked. But now still cannot get an instance to install. I get the "the Service failed to start..." error 3/4th way into the install

any ideas
