Attach Database Error

[VBXL]

When i try and attach a database to a server, i get the following error :-



The header for file 'f:\example.MDF' is not a valid database file header. The PageAudit property is incorrect



What do this mean ??????

(1) The file is damaged.
(2) You're trying to restore a SQL 2K MDF on a SQL 7 database. SQL2K can read the 7 format but not vice versa.
(3) The file was created and detached on server with newer service pack than the server where you are doing the attach.
4) Possibly the disk format factors are different on the disk where the file was created and where it now resides. Terry L. Broadbent
