[dba-SQLServer] Transferring a database to another SQL Server

I have just finished rebuilding a machine (new motherboard) and need to
transfer a large SQL Server database to that new server.  The two servers
can see each other (shared folders), but ...

I cannot register the other SQL Servers, getting an error "Login failed for
'MachineName\Guest'.  I get this error on either machine when trying to
register the SQL Server on the other machine.  My login user / password is
the same on both machines.  Both databases were installed using "Windows
Authentication" rather than "SQL Server Authentication".

Any ideas?
