Please let us know the complete error message and where you are facing the error? what resolution you have tried yet?
As the .mdf is the file where data is stored and we do not have much options to recover from corrupted .mdf file.

Regards,
Pinal Dave

Only My .mdf file corrupted. Is there any way I can recover my mdf file by using the .ldf file now?

alter database test
set emergency
go

alter database test
set single_user
go

dbcc checkdb (test, repair_allow_data_loss)

alter database test
set multi_user
go

Hope this helps
