| Hello,I tried to move my model and msdb databases to a different location following the steps outlined here -[url]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;224071[/url]. I was able to detach them but can't seem to reattach them.When I try to reattach, the error log says, "Could not find database ID 3 (which is the Model database). Database may not be activated yet or may be in transition. Reissue the query once the database is available." Sort of a catch 22.Any ideas? |

| The problem is that the instructions were for 2005 wheras I'm on 2008. Since it was a test instance, I just decided to rebuild the database and use the correct 2008 instructions for moving system databases. |
