MSDE SQL Server marked as SUSPECT

Hello all! I have an instance of MSDE that is marked as SUSPECT. In
the error log I get:
I/O error on backup or restore restart-checkpoint file 'C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$SBSMONITORING\backup\model4IDR.ckp'.
Operating system error 3(The system cannot find the path specified.).
The statement is proceeding but is non-restartable.
We don't have Enteprise Manager to look any closer at the DB. Do any of
you have a suggestion as to how to get this DB operational?
Jason
Restore it from a known good backup.

MSDE SQL Database Marked SUSPECT

Hello all! I have an instance of MSDE that is marked as SUSPECT. In

Jason,
You might check with Veritas regarding the Backup Exec.. The 4IDR part of
the filenames may have to do with their Intelligent Disaster Recovery..
Hope that helps,

MSDE Install Tangle

I have to yet successfully install MSDE on my machine. I suspect there is installation lint from previous attempts, however for the life of me I can't seem to get it running.

Attached is my log file from the latest attempt. I am really stumped.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

MikeAfter add remove and deleting folders, try running through the registry and do a search for SQL. Only delete keys found which tie back to the MSSQL Install path (i.e. C:\\Program files\MSSQL\...)

You will find lots of old junk - clear all this, reboot and reinstall.

Good luck!
