Hi,

I want to move all system databases (master, msdb, model, ReportServer) from their default location to E:\SQLSys\.

I am following the instructions on here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345408.aspx

However, after changing the startup parameters of my SQL Server instance, stopping my SQL Server instance, and moving the System databases to their new location, I am unable to restart my SQL Server instance.

In the Event Viewer, I see the following errors:

FCB::Open failed: Could not open file E:\SQLSys\master.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 5(Access is denied.).

FCB::Open failed: Could not open file E:\SQLSys\mastlog.ldf for file number 2. OS error: 5(Access is denied.).

If I take a look at the master.mdf file, nothing looks out of the ordinary:

Under the "Security" tab, everything is under its default configuration:

I also haven't changed anything in how different SQL services are Logged On As:

What is going on? How can I fix this?
