Have a SQL 2000 database instance with 4 databases. 2 are fine, but 2 randomly stopped. Detached and reattached them and the are back in "Read-Only" mode and when I try to change them to writable I get file permission errors: Any help/hints appreciated:
I know this is old but the customer has process which require 2000 version. On one I simply reattahced in 2008R2 and it is back up but this one apparently cannot be moved.
