Hi,

I was having problems on my PC so i did a fresh installation. However I
had backed up my SQL database (I only have the MDF file and not the log
file).

I have tried restoring and attaching options but nothing works :(

I also get the error saying

"Can not open backup device.... Device error or device off-line. See the
SQL server error log for more details. RESTORE database is terminating
abnormally".

Please this is urgent. Will be VERY grateful for your urgent reply.

Thanks.
