Running SQL Server 2005 in Windows Safe Mode

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/699862

Question

My computer has recently crashed and I can only run it in Safe Mode. I need to back up a SQL server 2005 database and transfer it a computer that works.

Is there anyway to run SQL server 2005 in Windows Vista Safe Mode?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I'm pretty sure that SQL won't start.

However you can take the MDF, NDF (if any) and LDF files and copy them to another computer, attach them to the SQL Instance on that computer and you will be up and running.
