Question : Re-installation of WSS 3.0 fails -> Database Error

I had to uninstall WSS 3.0 on one of my servers a few months back as there was a new server purchased to run our intranet.  Since then, we wanted to setup a 'test' site on the same server to test backups and other functions w/out harming the live site.

When I went to re-install WSS 3.0, it installed fine, but when it went through the wizard, it failed on step 5/6 saying that I don't have permissions.  

According this this KB from Microsoft, I need to run the following command to create a new DB entry: psconfig -cmd configdb -create -database
http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/WSS/en/library/6181fe5b-90ca-40cf-aade-abd59cf3c9071033.mspx?mfr=true

When I run the "psconfig -cmd configdb -create -database Test" from RUN, it fails.  

Any ideas on why it's failing.  What is the proper way to re-install WSS 3.0 w/out having any problems.  

Look forward to any responses.

Thanks!
