I successfully installed SQL Server 2005 and then used the ALTER DATATBASE statement to move around my data and log files for Model, MSDB and TEMPDB. I stopped SQL SERVER Services and physically moved the files to their new locations.. now the service won't start?

I followed instructions in this article:

Domain account that starts the services has full permissions to the new file locations and the files are not read-only??? can someone help?

I get this in the SQL Server ERROLOG:

Starting up database 'model'.

I can log on to the Server with the account that starts the services and open the .mdf and .ldf files in Notepad.. not sure what's going on.. can someone help

net start mssql$instancename /f /t3608
