Did you backup from SQL or just copy the mdf file? You might be able
to "reattach" the database file, although the best way to do it is to
do a backup from SQL itself, then copy the backup file to the new
server. You can then use the SQL restore utility to read in the backup
file the new database.

Subject: SOT:  SQL SERVER RESTORE DATABASE
To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hey guys I set up a new instance of SQL server 2000 on a new machine,
and am trying to restore a database from a backup file.  I backed up
the mdf and ldf file as well.

the ldf that i backed up is 4GB.  I was wondering if I needed todo
something with that, or if i can just throw thataway.

THanks!________________________________
