    today i have a disk failure on my SQL Server 2000. even though i have built the drive, but i cannot get the server to start still.

    I get an error starting the service MSSQL$EVENTMASTER_DB Service

    "Could not start the MSSQL$EVENTMASTER_DB Service on local computer.

    Error 1067. The program terminated unexpectedly."

    The second service is SQLAgent$EVENTMASTER_DB

    Error 1068 The dependency service or group failed to start.

    The first one needs to start before the second one.

    I tried to run SQlServerAgent -v

    You can't get the agent on the instance to run until the instance is up. To that point, the logs you provided have just enough. Btw, I simply plugged the error into google to bring up the issue.

    2011-07-15 16:33:10.17 spid4 Starting up database 'master'.

    2011-07-15 16:33:10.18 spid4 Error: 823, Severity: 24, State: 6.

    It can't access the drive, it's an I/O error. You'll need to confirm that the drives are behaving themselves. If they are, you've corrupted the master database. It's going to need a restore. This is severe. If you have a more experienced DBA on staff they need to get involved.

    This seems to be a good discussion on the issue and a walkthrough of the repairs if you're on your own:

    EDIT: One other question... why did you post this in the MySQL forum?
