SQL Server Service not starting

  • SQL Server 2005 service is not starting, I checked the ErrorLog file and found the below error :

    "2010-09-02 18:03:40.60 Server Error: 3411, Severity: 21, State: 1.

    2010-09-02 18:03:40.60 Server Configuration block version 0 is not a valid version number. SQL Server is exiting. Restore the master database or reinstall."

    I tried to rebuild the master database by using following command :

    "start /wait D:\setup.exe /qn INSTANCENAME=mssqm$ICT REINSTALL=SQL_Engine REBUILDDATABASE=1 SAPWD=StrongPassword"

    This command ran successfully without any notification then I tried to start the SQL Server in single user mode by using -m; parameter but when I start the SQL Service it gives an error i.e. :

    "Windows could not start the SQL Server on local computer. For more information review the system even log. If this is a non microsoft service, contact the service vendor and prefer to specific error code 3411 "

    When I checked the event log it shows :

    "The SQL Server (SQLFORMIRROR) service terminated with service-specific error 3411 (0xD53)."

    I tried many ways but could not succeeded plz help.

  • Check if the database files are compressed. If yes remove the Compression option in the Operating System. Refer this

  • No compression on database files.

  • Are there relevant entries in the SYSTEM or SECURITY Event logs?

  • Is the syntax of the command to reinstall master correct? I ask because you listed

    "start /wait D:\setup.exe /qn INSTANCENAME=mssqm$ICT REINSTALL=SQL_Engine REBUILDDATABASE=1 SAPWD=StrongPassword"

    supplying an instance name of mssqm$ICT yet your error is

    "The SQL Server (SQLFORMIRROR) service terminated with service-specific error 3411 (0xD53)."

    indicating your instance name with problems is SQLFORMIRROR.
