Migrating a single SQL2K Install to a SQL Clustered install.

Is it possible to to migrate a single standalone installation of SQL 2000
Enterprise Edition to be part of a clustered SQL installation. My initial
guess is that as SQL installs by default registering to the Server IP
address, and a clustered install requires its own IP address to be installed
under. Therefore I would have to unistall any SQL install and start from
scratch?
ThanksHi
You are correct, you first ahve to un-install and re-install. No other way.

cluster..
