AdventureWorks Install

I am using sqlserver 2005 express edition and have downloaded the
AdventureWorksDB.msi. I have installed it and it created 3 files:
AdventureWorks.mdf (~ 2MB), AdventureWorks_Data.mdf (~ 164MB) and
AdventureWorks_log.idf (~1MB). When I added the database to the sqlserver,
no tables appear under system tables. Is there something I am missing here?
No, it's normal in SQL Server 2005. System tables are hidden and you can't
see or modify them directly.

Tables, but I am unable to see the System Tables under AdventureWorks. I am
going through the tutorial and it's asking me to create the following query:
SELECT * FROM Production.Product;
GO
and I receive this error message:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'Production.Product'.
I have a connection the AdventureWorks DB. I'm obviously new to SQL Server
2005.
Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like a permissions issue. If you are just testing, make your account
you log in as a Server Role of Sysadmin (God-level rights).

|||Thanks, I changed permissions, but I still can't see the tables. The strange
thing is that there are 3 files in the Data folder under the MSSQL folder
for AdventureWorks: AdventureWorks.mdf (~ 2MB), AdventureWorks_Data.mdf (~
164MB) and AdventureWorks_log.idf (~1MB). The other DB's on the server only
have 2 files (.mdf and .idf) for each database. There are no _Data.mdf
files.
