Hi Exchange9,<br />
I've tried the attach but because the mdf file I have was never detached, I get a 'not a valid database header' error; I will try: <br />
<br />
RESTORE DATABASE shelbydb FROM 'c:\backup\shelby.mdf' WITH RECOVERY<br />
<br />
and see what happens.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Hi all,<br />
I had a windows server 2000 crash on me and I've been working on restoring our Shelby server using recovered mdf and bak files but have had no results. &nbsp;The mdf file I have was not detached properly and is giving me the error: “C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\<wbr />shelbydb.m<wbr />df is not a primary database file. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5171)”. &nbsp;When I try the .bak files I've been able to retrieve, the new shelby does not recognize them as valid shelby bak files. &nbsp;So, with this said, does anyone ideas on how I can either 1) fix the mdf file or 2) fix the bak file so that I can get our shelby server up again. &nbsp;Any help would be greatly appreciated!! &nbsp;Thank you in advance.

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.
