How do I kill a rollback process when I want to drop the database?

I want to drop a SQL Server 2008 database, but it is currently performing a rollback for a transaction (that transaction took 3 days to run so far).

How do I stop the rollback because I want to drop the database?

Thank you.

Here's how I stopped the rollback and dropped the database.

• Stop MSSQL Server via its service applet.

• Delete the corresponding database files (the mdf and log file) from Windows Explorer.

• Restart SQL server via its service applet.

• Start SQL Management Studio, go to the corresponding database, right click and select Delete.
