Database Recovery Issue

We had a hard drive crash on one of our servers. There are no backups of the
database available but we were able to recover the MDF and LDf for the only
database that was on the server. The server had to be rebuilt and SQL
reinstalled. The question I have, is there a way to recover this database
using the MDF and LDF files. I tried using the sp_attach_db command but
without much success (don't know if I used the wrong parameters or what). Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.There are several possibilities depending on the state of the database and
files involved. Your best bet is to contact PSS
(http://support.microsoft.com) who will be able to help you get up and
running again (and fix your backup process, of course :-)
Regards.
