hi medzed

You need to restore from updated backup

If you have maintained a backup copy of the database then it is the right time to use it.

Hi,
There could be two possibility the log file or data file is damaged or you are attching a higer version database to a lower version server.Could you please give more information about versions of sql server involved here. Can you try attching data file without log file. was database cleanly shutdown ?

Hope this helps
