SQL-Server: Error – Logical file is not part of database. Use RESTORE FILELISTONLY to list the logical file names

Question

Please run below sql and check logical names

RESTORE FILELISTONLY 
FROM DISK = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SS2008\MSSQL\Backup\Northwind.bak'

And then replace logical name shown by RESTORE FILELISTONLY in script below

--If database already exists do not restore
IF DB_ID('Northwind') IS NULL 
BEGIN
  RESTORE DATABASE [Northwind]
  FILE = N'Northwind_Data'
  FROM DISK = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SS2008\MSSQL\Backup\Northwind.bak'
  WITH 
    FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10,
    MOVE N'YOUR logical name of data file as shown by RESTORE FILELISTONLY command'
    TO N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SS2008\MSSQL\DATA\Northwind.mdf',
    MOVE N'YOUR logical name of Log file as shown by RESTORE FILELISTONLY command'
    TO N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SS2008\MSSQL\DATA\Northwind_0.LDF'
