Install on Personal Edition 2000 SP3a

I installed SQL 2000 on a Windows XP box with a typical install, but
Full-Text Search does not appear to have been installed. It does not appear
at all. I want to go back and install it, but the install wants to create a
new instance. Can this be done without creating a new instance or
uninstalling and then reinstalling?
Thanks
It should work, can you issue this query?
select ServerProperty(N'IsFulltextInstalled')
This will tell you whether it is installed or not.
