Hi all

When i started the service, i am getting the following message
Starting up database 'master'.
Error: 9003, Severity: 20, State: 1.
Cannot recover the master database. Exiting.

i tried starting using -f -m paramters,but could not succeed
i don't have any backups for master database
is there any way i can restore it from .mdf, .ldf files..

Pls suggest..

Thanks in advance

You're out of luck - there's nothing you can do if you don't have any backups.

what about rebuilding the master with rebuildm? This isn't going to restore you master database, but it will build a new one for you.

Yes - I replied too soon. You've only lost master - none of your user data should (hopefully) be damaged. You can reinstall, re-attach your databases, recreate your logins etc...

And get a backup strategy, or you may find yourself looking for a new job if you end up losing unrecoverable data.

I'm not able to debug that over the internet. I suggest you contact product support to help you (http://support.microsoft.com/sql).

Thanks

Was your SQL Service running when you ran the Rebuild utility?

are you using your old SA password, or are you using blank SA password? I would think that the SA password would now be blank since you rebuilt the master db.
