Hi.. I am trying to restore master of sql 7 on sql 2k. It throws error as master of earlier version cannot be restored. Can anyone guide me. Thanks
The error is by default and why you are restoring master database, is it for logins. If so KBAhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;246133 will help you.
