As the error message says, it sounds like master is not OK. You need to run a DBCC CHECKDB on master (run it on all of your databases to be sure). If you're lucky, it's a minor issue, or a problem with your I/O subsystem that is presenting itself as database corruption. As CHECKDB author Paul Randal says, 99% of CHECKDB issues are caused by problems with your I/O subsystem, so making sure that you diagnose and solve the I/O subsystem issues should be your #1 priority right now. For more info... http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic355924-5-1.aspx#bm482958 This error occurs when trying to connect to a DB engine. It doesn't connect to the DB engine and I can't see any of the DBs in Object explorer of SSMS. How can I fire the query DBCC CHECKDB?

Good question. Try SQLCMD (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms170207.aspx). If that doesn't work, hopefully you have a backup, in which case you may need to restore master (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175535.aspx)

Look through your event log. It's basically saying 'I was half way through reading the data for the master database when the disk decided to tell me that it wasn't ready'. This 'severe system-level error condition' bit isn't joking. It's pretty likely though that you will see something in the error log at that time that tells you why that drive isn't being reliable. All I can see is same error message in EventViewer -> Application Log (of Windows). Is there anything I am missing?
