  • RE: Can't install sql server 2005:(

    Odd.

    The only thing I can think of is perhaps the CD is slightly damaged and the one drive is just better at reading through the damage than the other.

    Same OS? Is one perhaps a 32 bit OS and the other a 64?

  • RE: Can't install sql server 2005:(

    Where did you get the installation files from? It may be worth trying to get another copy and install from that. Sounds like one of the files is corrupt.

  • RE: Very large database file > 2TB shrinking

    Odd. I suspected it was a problem with the file's max_size setting, but apparently not.

    Grasping at straws here... what's the command that you're using to shrink the file?
