HELP! Please Server Crash

I have had a piece of hardware fail (motherboard died),
and I don't have a back up of the entire SQL Box. What I
do have is all the files, master, tempdb, etc etc... in
the directory on the hard drive they were on. They are
fine.
I can't get SQL to run on another box tho, and there is a
humongous amount of jobs, and dts' that I need from there.
The data is fine, but is there a way to get this server
to run on another box?
I am in desparate need.
THank you
SvenInstall SQL Server on the new box .If you remember the paths for the install
,set it up in that fashion. Once completed, stop the SQL server service and
if you remember the exact path names/locations of your data files and log
files , you could restore all those files exactly in the same location
before you start the SQL Server instance on the other box. Give that a try..

back. You would then have to use sp_attach_db to attach the non-system
databases..
THe copying over of master, model , tempdb and msdb may or may not work...
The very least thing is that you MUST use the same collation that was
originally used...
