Issue with restoring master db

Hi all,

I am trying to restore my master database to a new server in sql 2000. I have started sql in single user mode from the command line and connected to enterprise manager and attempted to do the restore. I also tried query analyzer and used the restore database from disk ='file path of backup' used the move option with the correct file path and on both counts received the same error message...

Error: 9001, Severity: 21, State: 1.
Error: 3151, Severity: 21, State: 0.

Any ideas? The connection is then broken (which I would expect anyway as restoring master shuts down sql but, I checked and it has not restored the db)

Thanks!This article may be of some help:

http://www.dbarecovery.com/restoremasterdb.html|||lmao @. your sig ... rdjabarov ... nice one !!!|||That is mostly what I have done (did not need to do the rebuild part) When I try to do the restore it does not complete but generates the error messages I listed in my first posting. I have done this before and it worked but, for some reason it is not allowing me to do the restore but, is breaking the connection.

Any other suggestions?|||I did some more checking - could there be an issue with one server having a windows service pack 3 and the other server having windows service pack 4?
