The description for error 5172 is:
"The header for file '%ls' is not a valid database file header."
I'm afraid that your master database is corrupt.
Have a look at this thread on MSDN for a similar issue:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1346541&SiteID= 1
error 5173:
"One or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If
you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the
correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be
corrupted and should be restored from a backup."
error 5180:
"Could not open FCB for invalid file ID %d in database '%.*ls'."
