i hope you been backing up your system database regularly. if you don't. you
are in trouble.
you can't restore a corrupt master.mdb thru GUI.

-- to exclusive use the master database (to restore)

/* start the server in exclusive mode
>From a command prompt (the dos prompt, get to the c:\mssql7\binn directory
(adjust accordingly for sql2k), enter:
sqlservr.exe -c (standard)
sqlservr -m (exclusive)
restore master db from the last known good backup
stop server and re-start in normal mode
*/
once the master is restored. you can use Enterprise Manger GUI to restore
the last known good copy of msdb.
