• The error's a 'file not found', so the obvious question is, is the file there?

    Double-check that path please, because it doesn't look correct

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Galactic.mdf

    With default installation settings, that should be C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data\Galactic.mdf
    Similar for the log file  (whose name also looks wrong, Galactic_log.ldf would be the default name)
