When trying to save a table when inserting a new column other than at the end I ran into this error:

Solution:
In Management Studio, Tools –> Options then go to the Designer Page and uncheck “Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation”.

When installing SQL Server 2008 today I ran into an error right away.  In testing the Setup Support Rules the “Restart computer” operation check failed.

After a bit of Binging I found this thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/ca182f5d-114a-4516-99d4-0854ad176fbf/

It talks about deleting any registry settings with a value of “PendingFileRenameOperations" in the key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager"

Open your Windows programs type “regedit.exe” in the search then click enter. Now drill down to the Session Manager key.  Look for any value with “Pending FileRenameOperations” and delete it.

Go back to the SQL Server 2008 setup and rerun it.  Everything should pass now and you can proceed.

Scenerio: I had a web application that I developed on my local machine.  When I finished it I made a backup of the database to deploy to the staging server.

I uploaded it to the server then went to restore the db on the server, that is when I received this error:

Solution: The location of where my database on my local machine was different than that on the server.  I had to update the database location on the server. 

This was done by when restoring clicking on the options tab.  Then updating the paths of the Original File Name to where the database data is stored on the server.  I found this path out by looking to see where the current ones were stored.
