Can someone tell me the file format of SQL Server files?

Erm, MDF for data storage and LDF for logs but those are proprietary file formats which you are not supposed to manipulate directly.

The book "Inside Microsoft® SQL Server(TM) 2005: The Storage Engine" describes in detail the format of these files.

Paul Randal has also lots of information on his blog. http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/
