Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Data Corruption SQL Server instances fail to start after Windows Repair RE: SQL Server instances fail to start after Windows Repair

  • Hi Paul,

    Thanks for the heads up. It does looks like I'm screwed! Am I right in assuming that the DTS jobs are stored in the master db? If I was to take a copy of the existing MDF files, is there any chance that I could reinstall SQL Server and then reattach these MDF files? If so, how do you do that? I'm guessing you cannot dettach the reinstalled new master and reattach the old one instead? If seems to have problems with the LDF rather than the MDF.

    Regards

    Ben
