Question : WSUS 3.0 SP2 Installation Problem

Hello to all Experts,
I am hoping that one of you can assist me with an issue with my WSUS server. This server also serves as my secondary Domain Controller, and my backup DNS server.
Last week one of my drives began to fail on this server, and I had to replace the drive. There are 3 146 GB drives in the server configured in a raid configuration, so I was lucky enough that after replacing the drive it rebuilt itself.
Afterwards I opened my WSUS 3.0 SP2 console, and noticed that the last time the server has synchronized with Microsoft Update was June 24th. So I attempted to synchronize manually. I let the synchronization run for about 12 hours (even though this usually takes less than a half hour) and the synchronization stayed stuck at 0%.
I looked at my last time I had run updates on this server (turned out to be June 24th) and noticed that .net framework version 4.0 had been installed on this date. I then attempted to uninstall the .net framework, thinking that this could be the issue, and then restarted the server after uninstalling .net framework 4.0 successfully.
I then attempted to run the synchronization from WSUS again and still stuck at 0%. I checked the event logs and did not see anything with regards to synchronization failing.
I then uninstalled WSUS, from Control Panel, and made sure I kept the databases and then restarted thee server, and attempted to reinstall WSUS, but now WSUS will not reinstall. There have been no other versions of WSUS installed on this server, so this was never an upgrade in case anybody wonders if this was an upgrade from an older version of WSUS.
The error message I get when reinstalling WSUS is the following:
Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2 could not be installed. For more information, see the Setup log "C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1.STA\LOCALS~1\Temp\1\WSUSSetup.log".
