    if not then I'm sorry to say that the DB is gone now.....

    That is not necessarily true. There are ways to repair a SQL database with varying amounts of data loss. Until they have been tried you cannot say that the DB is gone. Recommending to delete the mdf without being 1000% sure that it is completely irreparable is very poor advice.

    I'm still waiting for the output of CheckDB to see exactly what's wrong. Sudhakara, can you run the CheckDB statement I gave you above and post the results?
