Create File Encountered Operating System Error 32 The Process Cannot Access The File
14 at 7:33 asked Jun 24 '12 at 15:07 GibboK 21.3k69244423 2 Is it possible the mdf is already attached to an instance of SQL Server, or it is open in a Visual Studio project or something along those lines? Have you tried making a copy of the file and attaching that? Where did the MDF file come from? Is it possible it wasn't detached cleanly from its original source? –Aaron Bertrand Jun 24 '12 at 15:09 2 Is SQL Server running as administrator? See CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5 Access is denied –Andomar Jun 24 '12 at 15:11 1 Thanks guys for your comments, I was able to solve the issue running as ADMINISTRATOR thanks! –GibboK Jun 24 '12 at 15:12 add a comment| 20 Answers 20 active oldest votes up vote 78 down vote accepted I was able to solve the problem running MS SQL Management Studio as ADMINISTRATOR. share|improve this answer answered Jun 24 '12 at 15:11 GibboK 21.3k69244423 2 Spot on - lifesaver. –absentmindeduk Jun 19 '13 at 9:05 The response by stackoverflow.com/users/2029904/user2029904 is much less aggressive and resolves the underlying problem - insufficient access by the instance account to the database file. –Pekka Jul 15 '13 at 20:29 add a comment| up vote 35 down vote It's a Windows permissions issue.

It seemed, 2 things can cause this error: trying to attach an mdf-file, that has not been detached (properly) some other stuff, which was my case. Never found out what (as I did, http://schoening.it/blog/attach-database-failed-for-server-unable-to-open-the-physical-file-operating-system-error-5-5failed-to-retrieve-text-for-this-error-reason-15105-microsoft-sql-server-error/ indeed, detach this database first) What I tried first Moving mdf- and log-files to somewhere http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1302840-1292-1.aspx else, retry -> fail trying to give my SQLSERVER/SQLEXPRESS service(s) modify-permissions on my DB-folder.

Lots of that kind of stuff Solution 1 hour of googling and uber-fail led me to somewhere (i closed the tab - sorry operating system for the missing reference), suggesting running the Management Studio Instance as an administrator.
