Recover data from .mdf file

$

Dear All,

Hi. I have a server with the following installed:

Windows server 2008 R2 SP1

SQL Server 2008 R2

My production database was "mydb"

The production database files were stored as below :

1) "mydb.ndf" file was stored at "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL

Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\mydb.ndf"

2) "mydb.mdf" and "mydb.ldf" files were stored at

D:\myfolder

Due to some reasons the Hard disk crashed and I lost my C:\ drive leaving me

with only the ".mdf" and ".ldf" database files.

I have re-installed the Windows server 2008 R2 SP1 and SQL Sever 2008 R2. Now

when I try to "re-attach" "mydb", by following method :

Right click Databases-Attach-Add, select the .mdf file and click OK

I get the following error :

"Unable to open the physical file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL

Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\mydb.ndf"....
