allow you to export the configuration contexts from the system tables from

would have all the information necessary to replace the content on a rebuilt

Is it possible to recover master database from problematic master.mdf and/or
problematic mastlog.ldf? No backups exist. The error that appeared in event
log is
Error:9003, Severity:20, State 1. and right after that: "Cannot recover
master database.Exiting" . The reason I am posting this is that I know there
is something starnge going on because there was no hard disk failure and the
problem appeared after power loss of the server. But scan disk did not
report
any problem when the server rebooted after the power loss. So maybe the file
is "not so corrupted" or maybe it is a fixable problem. Thank you in
advance.
