                                          | Do you have a backup of this database?  Is it a production database?Run the DBCC CHECKDB again and post any errors.  Don't run with "repair_allow_data_loss" option this time.  It looks somewhat familiar to this:http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53271MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |

                                          | Repair won't fix it - you need to restore from your backups. Its a damaged page in one of the critical system tables (sysindexes). These errors are almost 100% caused by h/w going bad. Run full disk diagnostics, look for errors in the SQL Server errorlog and Windows event logs.If you don't have any backups, script out a new database and extract as much as you can from the damage one (and get a backup strategy)Thanks |
