Hi there,

I'm hoping somebody here can help with this problem. In the Application Event Viewer we're seeing a problem. The error message is below:

The description for Event ID ( 17055 ) in Source ( MSSQLSERVER ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: 17207, udopen: Operating system error 32(error not found) during the creation/opening of physical device C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\Genifax.mdf.

Its promptly followed by this error:

The description for Event ID ( 17055 ) in Source ( MSSQLSERVER ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: 17204, FCB::Open failed: Could not open device C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\Genifax.mdf for virtual device number (VDN) 1.

The machine is running MSDE as its SQL Server and has two DBs:

DB on D: which is 148,628kb
DB on C: which is 237,568kb

I'm pretty stuck on this one, so if anybody knows what's causing this problem, and more importantly how I can go about fixing it, it'd be most appreciated - I'm no SQL Guru and haven't been able to find a huge amount on knowledgebase searches or google searches!

Thanks in anticipation.
