Hi

Where you get this "hello_db_20060410man.bak" this file seems s BACKUP file ,you have restore this file then you will get the .mdf and .log files

RESTORE DATABASE <DESIRE DATABASE NAME>
FROM DISK = '<PATH OF WHERE hello_db_20060410man.bak RESIDES>'
WITH MOVE '<DAT FILENAME>' TO '<PATH WHERE YOU WANT .MDF FILE>',
MOVE 'LOGFILE NAME' TO '<PATH WHERE YOU WANT .LDF FILE>'


EXAMPLE:

RESTORE DATABASE TESTDB1 FROM DISK = 'C:\TEST\TESTDB.BAK'
WITH MOVE 'TESTDB_DAT' TO 'C:\TEST\TESTDB.MDF',
MOVE 'TESTDB_LOG' TO 'C:\TEST\TESTDB.LDF'
