Using SQL Server 2000 SP3 I'm developing a data warehouse where data
will be archived off to a filegroup, this filegroup backed up and the
tables in this filegroup truncated to free up space on the server.

So using Enterprise Manager I've copied data to the filegroup tables,
backed up the file group, truncated the tables, but when I have
restored the file group the database is stuck in a state of
'(loading...)' and I can't get it to resume. I've tried running the
command RESTORE LOG databaseName WITH RECOVERY but get an error message
that the database has been restored to different time (sorry I can't
remember exact syntax but I'm not at my work computer)

Is this familiar to anyone? Ignoring the filegroups is there a way I
can get the database .MDF back up and running?

Thanks
