    Before you try the random tools, please make sure that you save a copy of the MDF file, so that you don't make things even worse. Next have you tried to query the database. Is the database marked suspect/ inaccessible? Or do you get an error when you try to query ? Please provide more information.

    Recovery from "corruption" depends on what parts of the file are corrupted, how extensive the corruption is, whether corruption is limited to data rather than hardware and other factors. Without details, little can be said about what should be done.

    To start, how do you try to view the file and what happens when you try?
