SQL Server Restoration

by garyadavis . Updated 25 years, 4 months ago

I need to restore a SQL server to a machine other than the origonal one. I have the .BAK file, but when I try do a restore I get various errors, such as “this database cannot be retored, try the WITH MOVE option” and others like that.

I have also been told that if I have the .mdf and .ldf files I can attach those to a DBand it works, bit I cant seem to find an option to attach files anywhere.

Please help!!!

Thanks
Gary Davis
