Hi.
I had the same prob some months ago. For heavens sake i had a backup, too.
But you will have some issues and work to do, as you don't have a file-backup. Then it would be pretty easy.
However, you have choosen the hard way (sorry)
1) create a new (empty) DB
2) Install DNN as usual (Don't use another version as you used for the DB, you can make an upgrade afterwards
3) Install all modules you used prior to the crash
4) restore the old DB and point your web.config to it
This should go. As stated before, when doing a backup, backup everything. E.g. with the easy to use and free Backup Module from DNNINFO.COM
Good look
