Cannot initialise database

[sherryp]

Can anyone advise me what prevents this from happening and how we can fix it? I have been advised to initialise the database to stop another problem and now cannot do so.

Let me know the what message do u get when initalizing the database.

Use server admin to Init the database
Or
Open Admin.exe in the ARCserve folder and Init the db one by one.
Username: admin
password: secret
This is the username & password that has to be used in the server admin.. DatabaseBaba...

Via Server Admin attempt to start the database engine and it fails - just goes Engine is starting and then Engine is stopping and Engine is not running.

Via Services "Could not start the ArcServeIT database engine service on server name". Error 2140: An internal Windows NT error occurred.

This just happen to me yesterday. My DB was corrupt and I deleted the following files in the arcserver DB folder, like arcserve tells you to.

rAAAAAAA.chg
rdm.chk
rdm.chi
The DB engine would not start anymore. I copied these same files from the arcserve db.new folder to the db folder under arcserve. Then I was able to start the engine and initiliaze the db

I uninstalled ArcServe last night and I will reinstall today.
Thanks for your help.
