If you get this message there's an external problem with the file. It
could mean physical corruption of the disk or the file, but it's more
likely to be
1) You have the wrong path name
2) Another instance of the server already has the database open (are you
running an embedded server there that's talking to this database?)
3) The disk is full (or too near full to create startup files and/or write
to the database header)
4) Another application is doing something to the file, e.g. a backup or
copying program; or you have opened it in an editor
5) You file-copied it (and/or other root directory files) from a CD and
forgot to unset the "read-only" file attribute
