SQL server 2000 could not started.

  • Hi...Guys.

    initconfig: Error 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) opening 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\data\master.mdf' for configuration information.

    Please reply....

  • How many instances of SQL Server do you have on the computer?

    John

  • We have only one sql server instance installed.

    Thanks

  • Well, something has got a lock on your master database file. Maybe you or someone else are trying to open it in a text editor, for some reason? If you can't find out what it is, I'd be tempted to restart the server to release the lock on the file.

    John

  • try using a file unlocker to check witch process is reading the file, or use procmon.



    If you need to work better, try working less...
