Operating System Error 38(Reached The End Of The File.) On File C:Datamyfile_log.LDF

Hi,

I am facing a problem on a server which has raid 5 solution (3 disks), the raid controller went down 2 of the disks were off in the Bios.

We added the 3 disks to a different server identical in brand and architecture, the raid controller was able to reconfigure the virtual drive H:.

All files were there, we installed sql server 2005 on the new server, but when we tried to attach the database we got the error below:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

Attach database failed for Server 'myserver'.  (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

The operating system returned error 38(Reached the end of the file.) to SQL Server during a read at offset 0x00000000af0000 in file 'C:Datamylog_log.LDF'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log and system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe system-level error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.

I tried the following steps but it always failed:

- create a new db with the same name of the lost db;

 - put the db in emergency mode;

 - stop sql service and replace the mdf file;

 - start sql service;

 - Run Dbcc checkdb('mydb')

we got the error below:

Msg 945, Level 14, State 2, Line 1

Database 'ism0506' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details.

 

Any HELP please ?

Thanks,
