  • What is the error you are getting?

  • error: Could not redo log record id on page.... creating DB is aborted along with some error code..

  • What was the reason the database was suspect?

    You could try attaching the mdf with no ldf and see if can rebuild it.

  • Generally speaking, you had better restore the database if you have the latest backups.

    If your mdf is healthy but ldf is crashed, you can attach the mdf file only and let the system create its new ldf file.

    If your mdf is crashed, I am afraid that you may not be able to attach it any more.

  • Even i tried by attaching the MDF only.. then also its working....

  • MDF only crashed... n presently i dont have BACKUP..... Just i need to attach to the server...

  • If you have any old backup you can recover upto that date. Otherwise there is no chance of recovering crashed MDF.

  • If your friend did not detach the database before copying the files, you will not be able to attach them.
