Folks, I had a hard disk decide to disappear occasionally. Yep, a soft reboot would show it completely missing, only a hard boot (power off/on) would display it again. Of course it was my system disk. In the two days of screwing around finding and fixing it, I forgot to back up my SQL Server database. It appears that I was connected to a database out on my data disk, and I didn't lose it, but the question is, how do I "attach to" that SQL Server database? It's my billing database and rather critical. Again, I have the database itself, but it is out in my data directory and I need to get SQL Server to open it and let me use it. Possible? John W.
