Hi, There is a Q article on how to restore master on microsoft's website. Basically you have to put down a blank master with the rebuildm.exe utility. Then you can start the sql server interactively (ie. Not through the service) and recover your real master through tsm. Once done, you can start the service and recover the other databases.
