CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105)

I have a database file .mdf from MS SQL EXPRESS in folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA

I would like to attach it to MS 2008 R2 (MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER) but using Server Management Studio I receive the following error:

CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105) while attempting to open or create the physical file

Do you have any idea how to solve it?

Solution

  • I was able to solve the problem running MS SQL Management Studio as ADMINISTRATOR.
