    Do you have required permissions on the SharePoint server that you are using?

    Hi anandan

    first do properly check out and then verify is there any contribute settings is enabled for this page.

    generallywhy  the master page error will show . because previously may be some body chekout and forgot to checking properly.

    you need to no proper check out and then save then you check in. once you click chech in it will ask which version you want check in . select major version.

    then goto your site and goto site actions-sitesettings-> click master page option

    then right click on master page and approve . then you can see the page

    1) The best practice says to avoid making changes to the default master page.   Either create your own master page or make a copy of the existing default master page before making any changes.

    2) I suspect something is wrong with your Default.master page.  It should not give "the master page cannot be loaded" error.  Can you review the Default.aspx in Code View and try to locate the issues?

    Hi

    Please follow the steps mentioned

    Modify the default master page (Using SharePoint Designer 2007)

    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/modify-the-default-master-page-HA010100906.aspx

    I totally agree to Kamlesh, you should be creating your own custom master page based of default.master

    Please follow the documentation

    Common Steps for Creating a Custom Master Page

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727372(v=office.12).aspx#MOSS2007CustomMasterPageWCM_CommonStepsforCreatingaCustomMasterPage

    Hope this helps let us know if you are still finding some difficulties.

    Thanks

    Using SharePoint 2010 designer, navigate to Catalogs -> Master Pages.

    Select "Default.master", press Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.  This way you will have a backup of original master page.
