Have you ever got this TempDB error ?

My SQL Server 7.0 (with Service Pack 3) server has 3 drives : C, D, E.
By default, the TempDB locates at C drive and I increased its size by adding
2 more files (1 for TempDB database file and 1 for Temp log) at D drive.
However, I don't know why the TempDB always cannot recognize these 2 D-drive
files when I come to office every morning.
The 2 D-drive files still exist in D drive but from the SQL Enterprise
Manager tells me the TempDB only has C-drive files.
Why, why the D-drive file pointers always become invvalid ?Hi,
Can you execute the below statement in query analyzer:-
sp_helpdb tempdb
If it is not showing D drive file, then you have not added the new files
properly.
Refer ALTER DATABASE in books online to add a new file to D Drive. (You can
also use Enterprise manager)
Thanks

files but not have the 2 D-drive files I added last night.
However, the 2 D-drive files still exist in the D drive when I used File
Explorer to search them.

sp_helpdb tempdb
If it is not showing D drive file, then you have not added the new files
properly. Please recreate the files using using ALTER DATABASE command.
