Error in SQL startup

Hi guys,

I have an SQL Server 2000 installed on a Windows server 2003. Yesterday, i restart my server and before login to the server the following message poped-up:

"Your SQL Server installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with (unable to load SQLBOOT.DLL). Please uninstall, then re-run setup to correct this problem"

Any ideas what this error is or why occurred?
Any help will be appreciated.

have u checked the sqllog and application log.. post the error from Log. its looks like the REGISTRY/system drive got corrupted/ or master file corrupted... what all are the backup u have. Do u have system dbs backups ?...

There are no errors in the event viewer regarding the error i tild you above. There is only the 19012 error which has to do something with the TCP port.

Any other ideas what this error should be?

|||Please post the sql log here. It would help us help you pinpoint the problem. The sqlboot error simply means the service doesn't get all the resources it needs to start up. A re-install typically will fix this.|||

generally this might be the log file path. C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG . Open the ERRORLOG file and paste the contents here

The Client: 192.168.2.250 is the SBS itself with the internal LAN NIC (the SBS have 2 NIC′s for WAN and LAN)

The NT-Authority\Networkservice is in Logon of the DB and have dbcreate and dbsecurity rights.

What can we do?

regards.

Can you paste the error from the ERRORLOG file and translate the German into English? The error state will be very helpful in determining what is going on (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366351.aspx).

Thanks
