Error 5101 Create Database Failed.??

[bluecjh]

New 2005 installation,

I tried to create a database on the server.

Create failed for Database 'test'.  (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

------------------------------

A file activation error occurred. The physical file name 'X:test.mdf' may be incorrect. Diagnose and correct additional errors, and retry the operation.
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5105)

I tried adding permissions (full control) to the
account sql server runs under on all root directories but to no avail.


can anyone shed some light?

thanks.
