hi folks,
i was warming up with disaster recovery on sql 2000. i have dome this exercise on 2008 & 2005 with no issues.
i can not start the instance in single user mode. when i issue "sqlservr.exe -c -m" i am getting your sql server installation is corrupt or tampred with (sql registry version not same as server)
all i did from a running server i stopped the server from tray and servicess i stopped my named instance. then i deleted teh master file from the folders.
then i tried to start, as you know i fail to start.
then using rebuildm.exe i rebuild the system files then able to start the service and server.
now i am trying to restore my master backup !!. i can i put in single user mode?
any thoughts!!!!!
