sql start up problem

  • hello :

    We have a CRM 4.0 and sql server 2005. as I deleted some contetnt on cm accidentally I had to restore my sql databases. as told in the user guides I was starting with the master database, but when I was restoring it said I should use a single mode start up. I followed the instructions and changed the startup parameters in properties of sql sercer in configuration manager from -d to -m but i got this error after starting the sql server :

    "The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details."

    and when I changed it back I still get this message. any help will be appriciated.

  • Did you check the event viewer for more details?

    There's your problem. You don't change the startup parameters to get SQL to start in single user mode. By not having the -d parameter SQL now has no idea whatsoever where the master data file is (that's what -d is for)

    You add extra startup parameters, like -m or -T<traceflag>.

  • in fact, don't start SQL Server in single user mode by modifying the startup parameters, stop the service and then use the command prompt to start your instance in single user mode
