I get the error below when the SQL server tries to start. They have backups of the SQL server files but not BAK files just Symantec files backups of the SQL Server folder. I’ve tried replacing the master.mdf and mastlog.ldf files from the backups but I still get the same error with different log scan numbers. Also tried replacing the model files and that just created errors.
Looking around online it gets very confusing as some say it’s the master database or
the model or that the user and password has changed. Some say to copy the master
database files from the template folder but there is none on this system.<o:p></o:p>
Any ideas? Thanks.
The log scan number (137:128:37) passed to log scan in database 'master' is not valid. This error may indicate data corruption or that the log file (.ldf) does not match the data file (.mdf). If this error occurred during replication, re-create the publication. Otherwise, restore from backup if the problem results in a failure during startup.
