Torn Page Error on Attaching DB

  • I have a problem with which I need help.

    A client has experienced a crash which has resulted in re-installing windows 2000 server and SQL 2000 Server plus SP3A.

    Before the re-install, and after the crash, the .MDF and .LDF files were copied off the drive onto a CD.

    When I try to attach the databases (there are two of them) I get the following error messages:

    "Error 823: I/O error (torn page) detected during read at offset 0000000000000000 in file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\EvolutionCommon_log.LDF"

    and

    "Error 823: I/O error (bad page ID) detected during read at offset 0x00000001150000 in file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\PrefXact.MDF. Two transactions rolled forward in database PrefXact(7)."

     I've tried using sp_attach_single_file_db but to no avail. In both instances, it still looks for the log file, and will not recreate it. Using EM to attach also does not suceed. I have made sure that the files are in exactly the same path as they were before the crash.

    Does anybody have any suggestions?

  • Any chance you have a backup you can use instead of the .mdf and .ldf files?

  • No. AS per usual, there was no maintenance plan in place. But obviously there is now. Amazing how the door is always bolted after the horse has bolted, isn't it?
