rebuildm can not start sql server

Hi All,
I ran the rebuildm.exe and it had been showing "server configuration progress..." for more than 10 minutes. So I stopped that process manually. Now I can not start sql server. why?
When I start it, the status first changes to "starting" and again "stopped".
Please help...
Hi!
Rebuildm.exe copies master database files from CD (search for mast*.mdf and
mast*.ldf). When copied from CD, files are marked with read-only attribute.
This might be the reason for the problem. Copy the files mnually, change the
attribute and rerun rebuildm with copied files.

Rebuild of SQL Server

With the initial system DISK configuration now running out of space, it will
be necessary to reconfigure the disk structure - with a reload of Win2k and
SQL 2000.
Question: Prior to the server rebuild, if SQL is stopped and system/user d
atabase device files are copied to tape, after the rebuild of the server (sa
me name) and a reload of SQL 2000 to same drive, would it possible to stop S
QL and copy the same databa
se device files from tape to avoid a SQL restore of the databases. This woul
d save some time and effort in recreating the databases from scratch, includ
ing the master database.
Thanks in Advance for any advice.Hi,
Yes, You can do that and it will be the faster and easy methodology. But
ensure that you have the same service pack in new server as well.
Thanks

and the user databses are the same, same service pack levels etc then I =
be;leive this should be OK. I would still test it though.=20
Being paranoid I would take at least 2 tape copies. And if possible =
restore to new disks BEFORE ditching the old ones.
But do you really ned to reinstall win2k to make the disk changes.?
