    I see this in the errorlog:

    There have been 256 misaligned log IOs which required falling back to synchronous IO.

    You are running into a known issue where Windows 11 for some disk drives reports a sector size that SQL Server does not cope with. Microsoft has published an article with workarounds for the problem.

    I suspect that once you apply the workarounds, you will get other errors, because in this situation Setup usually fails as it can't complete the configuration of the SQL Server instance.

    To fix the SQL Server startup error related to the master database, try these steps:

    1. Verify the Master Database File: Ensure the master.mdf file is located in the correct path. If it’s missing or corrupt, you may need to restore it from a backup.
    2. Check SQL Server Configuration: Review the startup parameters in SQL Server Configuration Manager to ensure they’re correct.
    3. Examine the SQL Server Error Log: Look for more specific error messages in the SQL Server error log, which could give more details on the issue.
    4. Rebuild the System Databases: If the master database is beyond repair, you might need to rebuild your system databases.
