I work for a company who have just lost the IT Manager, and we are in the
process of appointing another, I am a amature person (normally in sales,
don't hate me). However, we are using Sharepoint POrtal server with a SQL
2000 server for the databases.
There is the companyC1_SITE database which is now showing as suspect after a
server restart, and I notice the LDF is showing 0kb size.
The msdb.mdf is also showing as suspect.
The error log says that the SITE database was not detached cleanly.
I have a backup from the beginning of October, but nothing after that seems
to be valid. So I now must rely on whether or not it will be possible to
recover the corrupt site MDF?
The MDF's are on a RAID array with 270GB free space so the databases did not
become suspect due to space running out.
Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

Your best bet if you want it fixed ASAP and with the least risk of data loss
is to contact MS PSS so they can work directly with you to see what can be
done. Is your data worth about $225.00? I suspect it is and that will be a
small price to pay to get it fixed properly.

|||I agree with Andrew. Call the experts. They can walk you throught the
steps most likely to get your data back. Right after that phone call, find
yourself a temporary IT guy from a reputable consulting company. You will
probably have to pay extra for the emergency coverage, but if your business
depends on your systems, you really don't have a choice.
