I have SQL Server Std. running on a Win 2003 server. Everything has been fine except for the past few days the Default Instance/Service does not launch anymore. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but to no good. I do login as Administrator on the server. I did the installed in Mixed Mode authentication so the Service should launch as a System account. Here is the error I get.
-----------
The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated with service-specific error 17058 (0x42A2).

Please help! I don't want to reformat the hard drive!
