Take the tour ×  SQL Server 2008 R2 not starting after moving
model database. Any ideas? Error: 945, Severity: 14, State: 2.
Any ideas? Sql 2008 R2 will not start with trace -f -T3608 or
single user mode -m. Need params to start SMS to move Model
back.  share|improve this question Have you tried moving the
model database back using Windows Explorer? –  Max Vernon Mar 5

recorded a video demo of how to move the system databases here

probably moved the model database without issuing the required

path where SQL Server expects to find the model database files
(data and log) and you can move back the files to that location
and start the service again.  A
