Hi,
I am trying to restore a production copy. I have only the .bak file with me. While restoring, i m facing the following error. can u please help me... thanks in advance.

"MODIFY FILE encountered operating system error 112(There is not enough space on the disk.) while attempting to expand the physical file."

I have placed the data files(52GB) in D: drive(140GB free space) and transaction log file(100GB) in F: drive(465GB free space). Still i am facing this error...

Required size for the transactional log file is 140GB.

What kind of file system do those disks use? FAT or FAT32 have 4gb file size limit.

Thank you for ur response, i got the solution for this problem. Actually we have the removable HDD(F: drive). It was not formatted earlier to the restore. After formatting the HDD, i can be able to restore successfully.

Thanks again...

Actually if you add new SAN drive on the server you have to format it first and then only you can keep your files.

Also, I would recommend that give the permission on file system. So no one can access the folder and can not play with data/log/backup files.
