restore master database backup to a new server, single user mode

Hi,
I am using Win2000+SQL2000.
I have a backup copy of MASTER database, I need to retore it my newly setup
SQL server.
I use the command "sqlservr.exe -c -m" from DOS command prompt to startup
SQL server single user,
I can not connect to this sql servre instance by using SQL query analyzer,
kindly please tell me the steps to restore the master database to a new
server.
Thanks
MichaelHi,
What is the error you are getting while connecting to query analyzer.
Have a look into steps (15 - 28) in the attached link.
http://www.dbarecovery.com/restoremasterdb.html
You have to restore the Master database and then the user databases.
Otherwise Master database restore will
overwrite the existing database entries.
Thanks
Hari
