    Hey guys, I have a problem starting my local SQL server, when I try to start it, then I get this error: Windows could not star the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) on local Computer.... I am using SQL server 2008. Thanks in advance.

      Being telepathic I would say that your server installation does not like you. That is NOT a helpful error message. Try checking your event logs, you should get some more info from there.

        Has it ever worked? If this is a new install I would suggest uninstalling then reinstall.

          Looked in the log and found this error: "2011-08-18 12:34:51.23 spid6s Starting up database 'master'. 2011-08-18 12:34:51.29 spid6s Error: 9003, Severity: 20, State: 1. 2011-08-18 12:34:51.29 spid6s The log scan number (352:448:1) passed to log scan in database 'master' is not valid. This error may indicate data corruption or that the log file (.ldf) does not match the data file (.mdf). If this error occurred during replication, re-create the publication. Otherwise, restore from backup if the problem results in a failure during startup. 2011-08-18 12:34:51.29 spid6s Cannot recover the master database. SQL Server is unable to run. Restore master from a full backup, repair it, or rebuild it. For more information about how to rebuild the master database, see SQL Server Books Online." I tried rebuilding the master database but it failed to rebuild.

                Uninstall. Re-install. Then restore from the back up.
