Did you "rebuild the master database using the same character
set and sort order as the master database backup being restored"?

After restoring the master database, are you restarting the sql server
in multi-user mode ( Ie. Not in single user mode) ?

What errors are you getting when you restart the server? Any event
log messages?


    Thanks,
        Bill

Del,

Indeed, the msdb database has to be restored but, according to the
redbook, it has to be done after :

With TDP for SQL 1.1.1, I restored the master.dat file
I tried to restart the SQL server and it fails ...

So, after restarting the SQL server, I am supposed to restore the msdb
database but the SQL server does not restart ...
