Author Restoring from raw files
Brian Kirkpatrick

I have a backup of a machine, however the operator didn't create .bak files for the SQL. I don't know much about SQL myself, but is there a way to make the SQL application and Master database (I think) "see" the
.ldf, and .mdf files we already have? If not, is there a way to dump the .ldf, and .mdf files into .bak files, for easy SQL restoration?

Check out sp_attach_db in the BOL.
