Error: SQL server failed to start the system cannot find the path specified

First check the drives and drive letters in my computer. Then verify the SQL server installed drive is available in your server.

Go to Start –> All programs –> Microsoft SQL server 2008 –> configuration tools –> SQL server configuration manager –> Right click the SQL server –> Properties –> Advanced –> Check the install path and startup parameters.

 

In my case I could not see the Installation drive in my server. The drives (LUN) that’s not connected properly to the server and we went to the storage side and connected the drive (LUN) and it works as expected.

Hope this would help someone.

      Hi Michael,
      For any installation error you have to check text file in the setup booststrap: — C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
      This will give you more information.
