The server does not have F drive and no share drive is in use.

Answer 1

The server does not have F drive and no share drive is in use.
If the server does not have F:\ drive how come errorlog is point to F:\ drive. If someone has change the startup parameter, please search for errorlog and give the correct path:
Use Ashwin's link to change errorlog location:
http://sqlandme.com/2013/07/08/sql-server-how-to-change-sql-server-errorlog-location/
If this is a cluster instance check if drive was failed over to other node and also you should add this drive to SQL dependency. Only in case of cluster instance.
