A reboot of an older server running Windows Server 2000 and SQL Server 2000
seems to have resulted in a cascade of issues.  Obvious results include the
desktop profile and internet access being reset to default, applications set
to start with the OS no longer do and SQL Server won't start at all.  Here is
a collection of error messages we are getting:

In computer management clicking Services and Applications:
Error connecting to servername:
The Service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it
has no enabled devices associated with it.
Do you wish to continue to attempt to connect to it in the future?
Clicking Yes gets us to the services list.

In SQL Service Manager:
Click Start/Continue for SQL Server and it pauses for awhile, but then
nothing happens.
The application event viewer yields two new error messages:
MSSQLSERVER Category 2 Event ID 17055 "17052: Cannot recover the master
database.  Exiting."
MSSQLSERVER Category 2 Event ID 17055 "18052: Error 9003, Severity: 20,
State: 1."

Other errors repeated after each reboot of the system include:
Source W3Ctrs Category None Event ID 1003 "Unabe to wquery the W3SVC (HTTP)
service performance data.  The error code returned by the service is data
DWORD 0..."
Source FTPCtrs Category None Event ID 1000 "Unable to collect the FTP
