you need MS SQL server or MySQl. Those are database backups/files/whatever.

Those aren't databases files o!

The file extension *.mdf most often refers to to Media Disk Images. And as you said, they are materials/documentation, I assume the author simply created a disk image so that it can be burnt onto a CD/DVD.

Your options are:
[list]
[li]Get a CD/DVD burning application like Alcohol 120% and burn the files onto a CD/DVD [/li]
[li]Install a Virtual CD Emulator like Daemon Tools and load the files without burning onto a physical disc [/li]
[/list]

Cheers!

@poster, but why can't you do google search of .mds and .mdf one at a time and confirm the applications that will open them?
