| Hi, I have a very strange and dangeorous problem, I have MSDE 2000 SP3
installed on several laptops using a database as local, and it replicates as
the user request to, using Merge replication. Everything works fine, but
sometimes suddenly the MDF and TRN files of the laptops just dissappears.
I look over all the disk and there are no trace of the files, it isn't in
the recycle byn, and the most strange is if I try to delete an MDF the OS
dennies the operation, because the service is running.
Any idea?? please help

| Hi Ruben,
Sounds like either:
a) virus activity
b) virus scanner activity
c) hardware issues
d) corrupted disk (particularly if fat32 as an example)
HTH,

| Hi Greg, I suppossed that and I'll run a full scan on that computers, but the
only chance is that virus just affects mdf files, because no other files are
being deleted. Thank you any way

| Turn on Auditing for File Deletions in NTFS and find out who/when is
deleting the file.
