Hi everybody,

One of my customers has this problem.

Last night, electricity shot down and when their server restart, the SQL Server (MSDE) engine didn't restart !

We try manuelly ... nothing !
We try to reboot the server ... nothing !

What ever we try, the SQL Engine doesn't start !

Has someone here met the same problem ? If yes, how to resolve it ?

Thank you !

Have you tried dry gas, every once in a while I get water in my engine and it won't start either, oops wrong forum...


Have you gone into the services and tried starting it through there? Sometimes you have have start them manually.
You may want to try opening Enterprise Manager or SSMS and seeing if the database got corrupted. If so, you may have revert to a back up.

What's in the ERRORLOG file and the Application Log?
