  • RE: Invisible database - Can't drop

    Wait till it's done running, and if it's got problems, backups will be your easiest way to recover it, most likely.

  • RE: Invisible database - Can't drop

    Sounds to me like the master database may be having a problem. Have you run diagnostics (DBCC CHECKDB, etc.) on master?
