Well this is the situation, this is in my home lab and I'm looking to restore an SQl Express 2005 DB to a 2008 SQL server is possible using just the MDF and the LDF files?
Yes, absolutely it is possible
I've looked around the web and what I can see is attaching these two files to the SQL 2008 server would be enough?
Correct, that's all that's needed.
