Error occuring when seeking to backup of transaction log with no_truncate

Dear Group,
I had a database failure and tried to backup the last few
transactions in the log file using the no-truncate option
and it failed with the following error statement
"could not open fcb for invalid file ID 0 in database ..."
I am running SQL Server Enterprise Edition on Windows 2000
Server with SP 4 installed.
SQL Server has SP3 installed.
I have never seen this problem previously.
Just before I tried this operation I installed the latest
Windows Updates for Windows 2000.
Any thoughts.

this indeed is SQL2K, and the ldf files are healthy, I suggest you open a case with MS...
