Restoring Master Database errors on SQL 2000 SP3a

Hi All
I work in a envoriment where i restore lots of master
database for specfic reason.
The problem i am currently encountering is the following
When i attempt to restore the Master database is SQL
Enterprise Manager (in single user mode) i get a error
box with a title of sql-dmo odbc sqlstate: HY000 and
nothing else.
It then kills the SQL service which i can then restart as
normal but the master database is not restored.
If i attempt to restore via SQL Query Anylzer i just get
connect broken and the SQL service is stopped.
The only way i have found to restore my master database is
to reinstall SQL from scratch which is very time consuming.
Has anyone else seen this and now how to workaround this
issue with out reinstalling SQL
Many Thanks

Hi,
I have never ended up in this situation. I recommend you to try rebuilding
the MASTER database using REBUILDM.EXE rather than reinstalling SQL Server.
After rebulding the master you can restore the database
using the normal procedure
