SQL Doesn't start and Event ID = 17204


After hardening a server, the service didn't start anymore and I found the following error:

Event ID = 17204
FCB::Open failed: Could not open file d:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\mastlog.ldf for file number 2. OS error: 5(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105).

Solution:
Provide FULL CONTROL (not just modify) to the service logon account (in my scenario was Network Service).
