Am trying to restore data after system crash and reload. Only MSBCM data
files I have are .mdf or .ldf files? How can I open these?

Those are the Sql Server files with the BCM database--only the .mdf
file has actual data.

In a nutshell, they need to be "attached" to the BCM Sql instance, the
instance BCM setup creates.

You can do that with sql's ui or command-line tools.

BCM v3 should also detect and attach those files automatically when
you "select" a database from BCM.
