I would say that the best choice in this case is to start the server in minimal configuration. Why would you want to use undocumented trace flags instead of using a working and supported way? Also, as far as I know, trace flag 3608 skips running the recovery process for all user databases and MSDB. This would not help you at all in case that the drive that has tempdb on is not working.Adi
Thanks
I've checked out a few posts regarding a situation when the tempdb drive is no longer available - Most of which suggest using -T3608 + Minimal Config

Can the problem be fixed with just Minimal Config?
Thanks
