It can be done, did you burn a backup or the actual data files?
If not, you need to create the database, then stop the SQL Services
Now you need to copy all the files, the database and the transaction files,
to the directories. and name them the exact names as the new ones are
named. Then start the SQL Server.
Bring up Enterprise Manager and check the data.
It should be fine.
