| I have all the files from my friends hard drive that crashed. I don't have a clue what to do with them to repair, reconstruct the database. Can anyone tell me who I can pay to restore the database and get it running again? It is very important database that they need to recover. |

| Unfortunately there isn't any backup file just the mdf.& ldf files but the size of the mdf file is 765,000 kb and when I try to paste this file to a newly created database, the database will not connect. This is a lot of pain to help someone. |
