Exchange 2007 unable to mount database AttachedDatabaseMismatch (Solved!)

Question/Problem:

Exchange is unable to mount the database that you specified. Specified database: MAILSERVER\\First Storage Group\\Mailbox Database; Error code: MapiExceptionJetErrorAttachedDatabaseMismatch: Unable to mount database. (hr=0x80004005, ec=-1216)

I\'ve run ESEUTIL etc...but to no avail!

The answer/solution:

Easy as pie: move all files except the .edb file (your database) to another folder. After that it should mount normally. You can find them in the installation folder of Exchange, inside the Mailbox\\First Storage Group folder.
