Try "\\SERVERNAME\C$\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\RelpData".
Replace SERVERNAME with your server name.

My fault. The server name is already in there and I still keep getting the
same error message. I have made sure all the permissions for each file are
correct in Windows as well. Still keep getting the same message.

Thank you for your reply, Cristian!

You can recreate northwind database by run the script at
\\<servername>\c$\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Install\instnwnd.sql

Richard, thanks. I discovered the "fix" by accident. Once I took the $ out
of the path and the Program Files, it worked like a charm.

Thanks again for your help.
