I fixed it. I found some ghost-images that were kinda' recent, so I installed
Symantec Ghost v7.5 on another server and used Ghost Explorer to open the
images. I extracted the software-hive-file and copied it to db-server. Then I
rebooted the db-server from the install-cd and chose to start the recovery
console. There I browsed to %systemroot%\system32\config, renamed the current
software-file and copied my ghost-software-hive-file to "software" and rebooted
the server again. When it was up, I tried connecting to it and it worked.
All is well. 8-)
