I am new to dotnetnuke. I had a dotnetnuke website almost complete. I spent a few months on it.

I have not worked on it in about 6 weeks due to another project. This other project involved me uninstalling and then reinstalling SQLServer 2008 and its ManagementStudio.

Now when I open up my dotnetnuke in VisualStudio and go to launch it, it prompts me to install from new. I have did this and the website that pops up is a brand new EMPTY beginner website.

Have I deleted my original website???? Where has it gone to?

When I look at the website project in VisualStudio I see for example the alphabrisk skin that I installed for my original website.


Please don't tell me I have deleted my website.

Thanks

Really??

I was under the impression that my whole website was stored locally under:
C:\Users\myusername\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\DotNetNuke Website1


I never manually made any SQL backups of my database. My any chance wouild this have been done automatically for me???
Where would this be located at??

If this was a local installation of DNN using SQL Express, you might still have the actual data files that could be reconnected to.  Can you take a look in your website folder structure and look in App_Data?  Hopefully you'll see a DotNetNuke.mdf...
