The DBs themselves are stillfunctioning OK, just the EP shell that's not working.What's the proper resolution?Thank you in advance,FBCK

Is it possible to restore a SQL 2000 database with data from a transaction log?
I am not sure what happened to my database, all the data in the tables is gone. I generated a db script to create a duplicate database. I saved the .sql file on my local machine, separate from the db server, renamed the database name in the .sql file to a new database. Tested script in query analyzer for syntax, all was fine. Running it at this point would have created a new database with a different name, right?
Now my original database is empty. Can someone please provide me with information on getting my data back. Is there a way of using the transaction log to recover the data.

Howdy all -I am *not* a DBA, so please bear with me. A client's Windows 2000server went belly up yesterday afternoon after getting updates fromWindows Update. Wouldn't come up at all any more. I broke the mirrorfor the OS, rebuilt the Windows 2000 installation, and installed MS-SQL2000 and SP3 so that now the server is configured identically to whatit was before the crash.Now I have the databases in D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQLServerMSSQLData. D: is a mirror of the (now broken) oldinstallation. How can I get the databases into the active installationof MS-SQL on the C: drive?I was thinking of creating databases with the same name, shutting downSQL and copying the files from D: to C: but that sounds too easy.Any pointers greatly appreciated. Please remember that I am not anexperienced DBA, so use short words and speak slowly... :-)

Hi all. A few days ago i installed mcafee total protection 2007 and that disabled my internet connection totally!! I couldn't fix it so i had to uninstall it. After uninstalling mcafee total protection 2007 still i couldn't join Internet!!
So i got mad and went and made repair installation of windows xp pro. After repair installation i couldn't activate it since Internet connection was still not working!! So i went and installed another copy of xp pro on different folder and named it WINDOWS (old one was WINDOWS2).Thanks god now i could join Internet but all my shortcuts and menu items are not visible.
Unfortunately I can't even start sql server 2000 either!! could any one tell me what should i do in order to get access to all database tables and data that i had in sql server and make a back up. I didn't install any new sql server yet. I be happy if an expert tell me what should i do. The installation folder of old windows(WINDOWS2) is still available along with sql server installation folder.Thank and looking forward for reply.
Recently i got task from Senior DBA, as : Recover a database without LOG file Currently Data File is available.
Log file is also available, but shows size as 0 KB. Means Log file is corrupted.
Currently existing DB is shown as Offline Mode in SSMS.
So i got below link:
[URL]
When i tried 1st/2nd solution from above link, i got below message:The log cannot be rebuilt because there were open transactions/users when the database was shutdown, no checkpoint occurred to the database, or the database was read-only. This error could occur if the transaction log file was manually deleted or lost due to a hardware or environment failure.
To try that 3rd solution, I had to DELETE/Remove existing DB from SSMS, so i can create New DB with same name.
When i tried to delete Log file from Command Prompt, using below command, Windows replied that File is corrupted, so it cannot be deleted.
DEL /F /Q /A C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL11.SQLEXPRESS2012MSSQLDATAMyDB.ldf
Meanwhile my Senior DBA brought DB in Recovery Pending mode.
So if i want to go for 3rd solution,then i need to DELETE file, But Windows is not allowing me.
