I am trying to build a clustered index on a pretty large table.

I have enough space in my tempdb to handle quite a bit of sorting, and room in the DB to expand if necessary, but for some reason I keep getting this error when I try to build the index:

SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 9 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.

What is this? Can someone help me firgure out how to get the index built? I had it built on the original DB (this is a migration), and now we're moving to a new server and so I cleaned up a lot of the data, fixed some DBCC errors, and tried to build this index, and blorp, I get this error every time.

There are lots of reasons why access violations occur, so you will need to check MS' knowledge base for the reason why yours is failing (support.microsoft.com). Just typing in EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION returns lots of records. Most likely you are getting the message because of a bug. What server pack are you on (also what version of SQL Server)?
