| I a have restored a .mdf and a .ldf file from back up, but I get a message when I try to copy and paste the files or if I try to re-attach them saying that the file is in use. Has anyone had this problem? |

| No, The files that I am trying to use are files that have been restored they are not attached to SQL server. Nothing should be using them. They were even restored to a different directory. |

| I got it. Stopping the SQL service allowed me to do what I wanted to so. Still not sure why, since these were restored file that were not attached to SQL Server. |
