MOVE 'AdventureWorks_Log' to 'C:\AdventureWorks_Log.ldf' , Luckily I can help you with getting this into SQL Server. I would have included it in this article, but CP kindly asks me to keep files below 10 MB. MOVE 'AdventureWorks_Data' to 'C:\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf', So I picked a few and got successfull with the AdventureWorks2012-Full Database Backup.zip (near the bottom of list of downloads). RESTORE DATABASE adventureworks1 FROM DISK= 'c:\av_full.bak' WITH
#Adventureworks2012 full
restore the full backup, don't recover yet RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK='c:\av_full.bak' The program enables you to do quite a bit with a SQL Server installation.

In the last part of this series I wrote about SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), the interface that enables you to work with SQL Server objects such as databases and tables. so you can specify a new location using MOVE SQL Server for Beginners: Part IV The AdventureWorks Database. If you're sick of being at the mercy of SSMS then learn to do the restore in T-SQL: - use this command to get the logical names for the restore (AdventureWorks - SQLZOO) MSDN has a suggested practices page.(Suggested Practices) All it took me is a google search. What other options are you selecting? this may be another way of triggering the error? Try putting in the same location of the data/log files that you used in your full restore and see if it fixes it. This issue looks like its fixed in SSMS 2008 (Checked it with RTM) it seems to ignore any values put in on the options page for the path when doing the differential restore, even if the location is invalid. However, you can use sqlcmd with any accessible SQL Server instance, from version 2005 on, and against any accessible database. I developed these examples against a local instance of SQL Server 2012, with the AdventureWorks2012 database installed.

Otherwise SSMS puts in the original location and tries to restore it to there. The article includes a number of examples that demonstrate how to use sqlcmd. If you choose a new location when you restore the full backup in the options page, then you have to change it to the SAME physical location when you do the differential restore. The reason is you cannot specify a new location for your data files when you do a differential restore under the OPTIONS page. Use the following procedure to download and deploy the AdventureWorksDW2012 data warehouse database. Under 'AdventureWorks2012' database details, select the row where File Type is Log. I can't get this error to occur in SSMS 2008, which you've specified your using, but i can get it to occur in SSMS 2005. Navigate to the location where you copied AdventureWorks2012Data.mdf, select the file, and then click OK.
