Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.2047.00 (X64) Apr 14 2006 01:11:53
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition
(64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)

I have a database with one data file, one log file and 2 bogus, offline
FT "files":

FileGroupName FileGroupType FileType FileState
PRIMARY ROWS_FILEGROUP FULLTEXT OFFLINE
PRIMARY ROWS_FILEGROUP FULLTEXT OFFLINE

The physical path for both FT folders is not valid. The DB is at now
at compatibility level 90, but it was at 80. When I try to do an alter
database remove/modify, I get an error:

"Msg 5009, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
One or more files listed in the statement could not be found or could
not be initialized."

How do i get rid of these bogus DB "files"?

TIA,

-Peter

Duh - drop the bogus fulltext catalog after dropping the bogus fulltext
indexes.
