MS SQL Server 2000 issue - please help

  • Can anyone help me with this issue:

    today i have a disk failure on my SQL Server 2000. even though i have built the drive, but i cannot get the server to start still.

    I get an error starting the service MSSQL$EVENTMASTER_DB Service

    "Could not start the MSSQL$EVENTMASTER_DB Service on local computer.

    Error 1067. The program terminated unexpectedly."

    The second service is SQLAgent$EVENTMASTER_DB

    Error 1068 The dependency service or group failed to start.

    The first one needs to start before the second one.

    I tried to run SQlServerAgent -v

    Here are some logs

    "Error message 823 may indicate hardware problems or system problems in SQL Server"

  • It appears that the master database may be corrupt and you need to rebuild it.

    Error 823 usually indicates a disk problem.
