I copied my Payroll DB project to a flash drive. I believe the Payroll.mdf file should be in: “F:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data”, but there is nothing after \Data.
I did a search on the F: drive for *.mdf and found the Northwind, Pubs, master, msdbdata and many other files, but no Payroll. I am afraid to open one of the master or other system files to look. Plus the modified dates on these files are 2-3 years old.
Is my Payroll DB buried in one of the above files?
I am wanting to put my Payroll DB back onto my hard drive so I can continue to work on it. My PC crashed over the weekend.
I did find some info on the MS support site at:
(“Moving user databases”)
Is the support info what I need to copy the Payroll DB (if it’s on F to my harddrive? I do not want to make things worse.
Thanks.
Bill
