  • Hi,

    You may try third party solution Recovery Toolbox for SQL Server

    I can suggest you a good manual solution that will help you repair your corrupt MDF file of SQL Server. DBCC CHECKDB and DBCC DBREPAIR statements have to be executed to perform repair operation.

    The query statements and manual for software are given in this post: https://sql.recoverytoolbox.com/[/url]

    Follow the steps given in this post and execute the DBCC CHECKDB and DBCC DBREPAIR statements as given in the post.

    Thanks.
