Restore it from scratch.

You cancelled the restore part way through so the entire database was not restored. That cannot be brought online. Drop it, get a fresh backup and restore completely, this time not killing the restore part way through.

How to cancel restory state of databaase..

It is stuck in this state since you canceled the restore. Once a restore has been started you cannot undo what the restore has begun... there is no rollback a restore process so it is left in a hung state.

About all you can do is get another good backup and restore it from that.

before restoring backup check following...

restore verifyonly from disk ='E:\bk_full_datacenter\test1.bak' --The backup set on file 1 is valid.

restore labelonly from disk ='E:\bk_full_datacenter\test1.bak'-- media related information

restore filelistonly from disk ='E:\bk_full_datacenter\test1.bak'--list filegroups in backup

restore headeronly from disk ='E:\bk_full_datacenter\test1.bak' --see compatiblity level and software version

then try to restore backup..

delete database without deleting restore history from SSMS, it will delete in a snap.
