If I understand correctly, you want to know how SQL Server knows if the master database is online. When you start SQL Server (the service), the startup command tells the Sqlserver.exe where to find the master database (startup parameters below): ![alt text][1] SQL Server then loads this database and finds out the other databases and loads them. If master cannot be found or loaded, you have a problem! [1]: /upfiles/Capture3.PNG

The master database is made up of the master.mdf and mastlog.ldf. If these files are not present, the database cannot be brought online. If master is not there, you cannot start SQL Server, so the question of checking if the files are there and the databse is online is irrelevant once SQL Server is online. The location of the master files is dependant upon the choices made at installation time, or if the files were moved after install, what is present in the startup parameters I have shown above.

The fact that SQL Server is running proves that master is online, or am I misunderstanding you?
