    I have tried to with ldf file also. I got the same issue.

    Below the steps i followed to restore the database from disc.

    step 1 : Logging sql server

    step 2: Right click on Database. restore database

    step 3 : selected the .mdf file

    step 4: click ok

    after clicking the ok button i got the error msg.

    You do not restore the mdf file, you need to attach it. The mdf file is NOT a backup file.
