SQL Server doesn't START

  • I have a SQL 2000 with RAID 1, last day an error happened with the second mirror, after restart it, this occurs in Event Log:

    - 18052

    error 823, severity 24, state 2

    error 3313, severity 21, state 2

    - 17052

    Cannot recover the master database exiting...

    And when i wish to connect to my server this message appears:

    A connection could not be established to myserver

    Reason: SQL Server does not exist or access denied

    Thanks for your help.

  • Please post the details of those errors. Just listing the numbers is not sufficient.

    Actually, if you can find the SQL error log and post the entire of it (removing server names if necessary) it would be very useful. The SQL error log is just a text file and can be accessed without the SQL engine running. It's name will be simply "ERRORLOG" I can't tell you offhand where it will be, because that depends on the installation path for SQL.

  • Ok, i'm not working now, but monday i tell you some data of ERRORLOG.

    PD: i haven't backup of master db.-

  • No need - if your master is corrupt and you don't have a backup, you're going to have to create a new master database, and then reattach the user databases. You're also going to have to recreate all your logins. My advice is to call Product Support and have them help you through this - it's too involved a process to try to support over an asynchronous medium like this.

    Thanks
