Hope someone can help.
Have been using this server for several years with no problems.
Tried restarting in Services and configuration manager...

the master file is in the correct path.......must be corrupted. I have a working master file on another pc that is ok. I copied it to the problem pc and it still didn't work.
The link above gives some good information, but is outdated: My pc does not contain the Rebuild file.
Any more ideas?

Should the path be 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\
Where would I go to change the path to MYDATABASE.mdf?
