Error in Rebuilding the Master Database in SQL 7.0

[Kelin]

I am attempting to rebuild the master database in a SQL Server 7.0 database environment. I keep getting a sharing violation error and am not sure what it hanging on to the file.

Error: Cannot copy Master, there has been a sharing violation.

Any ideas on what may be holding onto the file?

Thanks

Is SQL Server still running? How are you rebuilding master?

If you want to get the best answer for your question read faq183-874 and faq183-3179.
