RebuildM: Cannot copy file error?

Hi All,
I tried to rebuild my Master data file unsuccessfully. After selecting the
directory where my Master.dbf and .ldf, I clicked on the Rebuild button, and
RebuildM gives me the following error message:
Cannot copy Master: There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.
I am not so sure which one is source, which one is destination? I tried to
delete and restore the master.ldf and master.mdf files and they are deleted
and restored fine, which means that they are not in use.
What else do I have to do in order to rebuild the master file?Hi, David,
From you information, when you use the rebuildm.exe to rebuild the master
database, you encoutere error message of:
Cannot copy Master: There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.
Based on my knowledge, The Rebuild Master utility reinstalls the master
database. Rebuilding the master database removes all database objects and
data. After rebuilding the master database, re-create the database objects
and reload the data, or reattach the data and log files using sp_attach_db.
Please refer to the following articles before you run it.

You should choose the resorce by click on the browse button and Select the
\Data folder on the SQL Server compact disc or in the shared network
directory from which SQL Server was installed, and then click OK.
Hope this helps.
