  • Make sure your storage server is running and is in UP state. Sometimes this can take over an hour depending how large it is.

  • Check the account which is used to start the services. You need Admin previliges to do it.

    Check the permission settings on the files. You need to have full access to those files.

    Also check the error messages on the event viewer.

     

    I did a similar activity where I moved the data from one location to another location using a copy command but the services refused to start. Then had to move them with XCOPY command to get the file permission issue settled.
