Hello all.  I sure hope someone can help me with this, because I'm racking my brain.  I had a hard drive that was starting to fail on my server box.  Luckily, I maintained the dnn website files on a separate raid drive.  My old OS was XP, but I installed a new HD with Windows 7 and IIS 7.5.  Because I couldn't boot the old machine prior to replacing the drive, I wasn't able to properly backup either the site or the database.  However, I do have the folder and files from the site to include the mdf and ldf files.  Can someone please give me some detailed instructions on how to use that to get the site back up and running in the Windows 7 environment?  Thanks in advance,
