Operating System Error 5: 5(Access Is Denied.). When Try To Attach .mdf File To Server.
Feb 22, 2008
I had few databases developed in SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. I have detached all the databases and stopped developing anything new other than taking reqular backup of detached .mdf and .ldf files. I installed Vista on the other Hard drive that corrupted my XP installation drive letters so I had to reinstall XP OS. I have reinstalled SQL 2005 Dev edition. Now I am trying to attach the database it is giving error of Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)". I tried to copy those .mdf and .Ldf files through windows explorer and it is not letting me copy past in the other place. I am getting Access denied from OS. I have about 5 databases and only one has this problem.
What is going on and how do I solve this? Is the OS has locked the file? My home computer is not in a domain. I tried to right click the file to see if I can set access permission on the file. There is no such security options. Any help is appreciated.
This is a problem I encountered when I had to detach a database file (type .mdf):
1) I went to the MS SQL Management Server Studi and detached my database file successfully from a connection called Workhorse.
2) I needed to place the .mdf database file into a zip file in order to put it on a remote server. I did this using Shared Portal. This was also successful
3) However when I tried reattaching the database file, I got this error:
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5A(Access denied.) while attempting to open or create the physical file "CProgram FilesMSSQL ServerMSSQLData<databasename>.mdf'
Q) The database file and log file (ldf) exist in the correct directory so I don't know what happened. Can any one help?
I am facing a issue with bulk upload on Test Server.
Issue: When running Openrowset command from SQL server other that Test Server query runs fine when trying to run the same command from Test Server it gives error.
Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot bulk load because the file "\ServerNameinputFileName.csv" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).
For example: If the command is run from System A connecting to SQL Server instance on Test Server Test Server it gives this error. If the same command with same rights is run from any other SQL server instance say Dev1 its running fine.
If the command is run from Test Server connecting to any SQL Server instance including Test Server it is running fine.
Tried: 1) Given the read/write rights on shared folder, to user under which the SQL server service is running on Test Server
2) Given the read/write rights on shared folder to everyone.
Query:
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM OPENROWSET
(
BULK '\ServerNameinputFileName.csv',
FORMATFILE='\ServerNameFormat.xml'
)
AS FileList
Please provide me with some solution. What can be the reason for such behaviour?
I have used the copy database wizard, but I realized I had forgotten to shrink the transaction log file. So I canceled the wizard. My database, detached by the wizard, has now disappeared. The mdf file is still there, but when I try to attach it manually I get the "create file encountered operating system error 5 while attempting to open the physical file..." error.
We are setting up a new box and when we deploy the cube we are getting the error "File system error: The following error occured during a file operation: Access is denied. ."
We are part of an AD group that is a member of the administrators group on the box, and it looks like we have rights to the data directory where AS deploys cube data to. The account that AS service runs as is also an administrator on the box. It is a domain account. The cube does have one assembly - might that be the problem? We have set up a few boxes in the past without problems - we didn't have control over how this box was setup, so obviously we are missing a permission. If anyone has any insights / ideas, I'm all ears.
I have an File System Task that copies a file from one directory ot another. When I hard code the target directory (c:dirfile.txt) it works fine. When I change it to a virtual directory (\serverdirfile.txt) I get a security error:
[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path '\gracehbtest oS2TMM_Live_Title_000002.xml' is denied.".
Hello all, I am running into an interesting scenario on my desktop. I'm running developer edition on Windows XP Professional (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Developer Edition). OS is autopatched via corporate policy and I saw some patches go in last week. This machine is also a hand-me-down so I don't have a clean install of the databases on the machine but I am local admin.
So, starting last week after a forced remote reboot (also a policy) I noticed a few of the databases didn't start back up. I chalked it up to the hard shutdown and went along my merry way. Friday however I know I shut my machine down nicely and this morning when I booted up, I was in the same state I was last Wenesday. 7 of the 18 databases on my machine came up with
FCB:pen: Operating system error 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) occurred while creating or opening file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation. and it also logs FCB:pen failed: Could not open file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.).
I've caught references to the auto close feature being a possible culprit, no dice as the databases in question are set to False. Recovery mode varies on the databases from Simple to Full. If I cycle the SQL Server service, whatever transient issue it was having with those files is gone. As much as I'd love to disable the virus scanner, network security would not be amused. The data and log files appear to have the same permissions as unaffected database files. Nothing's set to read only or archive as I've caught on other forums as possible gremlins. I have sufficient disk space and the databases are set for unrestricted growth.
Any thoughts on what I could look at? If it was everything coming up in RECOVERY_PENDING it's make more sense to me than a hit or miss type of thing I'm experiencing now.
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:.

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:

I am trying to attach a database to SQL 2005. This database has not previously been attached. I have only just installed SQL.
I get the following message: Unable to open physical file "C:ArrowSQLArr@DataArrow_data.mdf" Operating system error 5: "5(error not found)" (Microsoft SQL Server: Error 5120)".
I have loaded SQL and the database fiel and directory with the same user account which is a local administrator on this machine. I have checked that I have read/write access to the file.
The machine runs Windows Vista Business. SQL has SP 2 loaded. What causes this?
We have a very severe issue in our production, and this is very very ugent to fix this issue, there was a job started on server on 10th October, 2007, for backup of database of 3.2 TB, which caused this issue on 18th October, 2007. I cancelled that job and even restarted the server, but still there is same issue on the server.

My apologies...I wasn't for sure where to post an error like this...
Over the last 2 months I have gotten this SQL Server error (twice). All existing processes will continue to work, however no new processes can be created and users cannot connect to the server. This is the exact text of the message in the SQL Server error log.

I have an asp.net 1.1 (vb.net) application which accesses data from a sql server 2000. I published this application on http://test.autenmas.co.za and the database I access is on 196.23.156.196. I am getting this error message when I run the application from this site:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
But it's working fine on my local, development machine. I am using the following connection string in my connections:
"Data source=196.23.56.193; Initial Catalog=Autenmas; User Id=xxxx; password=yyyy"
Is there anything wrong with my code, is there anything that must be done on the web/database server or any other configurations for that matter, what really is the problem??????
Ok guys, I am trying to install Sql server 2005 on Vista but I am still stuck with this warning message in the System Configuration Check during Sql server 2K5 installation :
SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility (Warning) Messages * SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility
* Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online.
Now, I know I need to install SP2 but how the hell I am going to install SP2 if Sql server 2005 doesn't install any of the components including Sql server Database services, Analysus services, Reporting integration services( only the workstation component is available for installation)?
Any work around for this issue?
P.S.: I didn't install VS.NET 2005 yet, can this solve the problem?
Can someone please assist, we have a Database roughly 10GB in size,

I have recently installed a new server for a client running SBS2003 R2 with SQLServer 2005.

Hi there. Could someone help me out. I'm performing a log restore and getting the following error within the SQL Server Error Log.
During restore restart, an I/O error occurred on checkpoint file 'G:MSSQL.1MSSQLBackupdxsh.CKP' (operating system error 1784(error not found)). The statement is proceeding but cannot be restarted. Ensure that a valid storage location exists for the checkpoint file.
IT's a very basic Restore command and i do have not specified it to Restart.
Having checked the MS website for 1784 it suggests the following:
The supplied user buffer is not valid for the requested operation
Can anyone tell me what is wrong here and why it is creating a checkpoint file or even what it is and how to overcome the error message.
i believe this is the right thread... i recently had an issue where my xpstar.dll would not register and i read to fix the issue to reapply the SP so i installed SP4 i now am getting this error... please help!
Hi,I keep getting this error message for a trans.log backup.Operating system error112(error not found).The disk has about 6GB space free, and the backup should only take upabout 550 MB, so I would think it is not space related but...The disk is NTFS.Any ideas?
A customer of my program is getting the SQL CE error message "The operating system does not support encryption".
I've seen several threads on this issue, but none of them seem to apply to my problem. This is a Windows Forms application, so no device and no web service.
The OS is a German Windows XP - so there shouldn't be any issues regarding strong encryption. It even runs in Windows 2000 in our test VPC.
I am attempting to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (from CD) on my IBM PC with XP Operating System. During set up, I get a error message (see below) telling me about a Service Pack requirement. When I click on the link provided in the error message, it does not lead to any service pack download.
I'm trying to read thru these forum posts, it seems that there is a service pack that I need to download after installing SQL Server 2005. But how can I install the pack after when I can't install SQL Server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is more information about the version of windows my PC has.
My PC: Windows Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633:Service Pack 1)
