Eugen writes "Good afternoon,

My name is Eugen Tirulnic and I am a DBA in a clinic. We run a small business operation system on a server with processor Athlon 1GHz , 512 MB RAM, HD controller RAID IDE in a mirror mode 2HD, 20 GB, Windows 2000, SQL Server 2000.
My problem is that a couple of days ago when I or any user tried to access some of the tables i've got an error with message like "Error on access to file c:\....\...\data\ppp.mdf at offset ......"

I set up my SQL Server to make a complete backup of DB every day at 5PM.

When I have tried to restore the data I read "Error on the address...in the file...". I do back up at 5 pm every day. I managed to restore the data until the 23rd of June. I restored 99% but still I have the "turn on page" error.
Now I expect to be able to complete the restoration. But I miss something and I don't know what. I mention that I did no relevant training in SQL and I use only my personal knowledge and experience.
Anyway, I am in big trouble and that is why I'm calling out for help.

I am grateful for any input.

thank you
Eugen"

I would recommend running CHKDSK or ScanDisk, or if your RAID controller came with a special disk fix utility, use that instead. It's possible the hard disk has some bad sectors and may have corrupted the file. I would recommend against trying to restore the data until you check the disk(s) out first.
