moving to a new sql server box because of a problem with the SAN its connected to.

started my named instance in single user mode and restored master. sqlserve.exe -c -m -s ovops

now the instance won't start. tried starting it with the -t3608 switch.. won't start!!

Its because my drive configuration is different on the new server than it was on the old server, I cannot start the instance because it is expecting model, msdb, temdb and all of the user databases on drives that don't exist?? what can I do?????

Try start sql with -f option and modify system dbs' file path.
