Could not create tempdb. You may not have enough operating system error disk space available. Free additional disk space by deleting other files on the tempdb drive and then restart SQL Server. Check for additional errors in the event log that may indicate why the tempdb files could not be initialized. Cause SQL Server service account does not have any longer permissions to access the database files or write files. Resolution Check account name under Services.msc-> SQL Server service. Check if this account has write permissions to c:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Databases\MSSQL\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\ or other path mentioned in error.
