restore master db- testing

  • hello,

    i did read couple different posts on restoring/rebuilding master db..i just wanted to test this on my laptop..my master db works fine..i was trying to rebuild but i do not see any changes..mentioned below are the steps which i did..please correct me if i am wrong

    i) pointed to the folder where setup.exe is placed from command prompt

    ii)ran start /wait setup.exe /qn INSTANCENAME=”MSSQLSERVER” REINSTALL=SQL_Engine REBUILDDATABASE=1 SAPWD=”XXXX” from command prompt based on article from http://www.sql-articles.com/articles/troubleshooting/how-to-rebuild-system-databases-in-sql-server-2005

    iii) it is mentioned that once i did the date modified on the data and log files should change but didnt change in my case

    iv) can i just run the setup.exe? i did try but didnt get the option of rebuilding the master

    v) also if i get this correct..inorder to fix a corrupt master db first you need to rebuild from the setup and then restore

    thanks in advance..
