Possible to restore a database from just the database device?

[MH]

I had a major disk failure, and the only SQL Server files I was able to recover were master.dat, msdb.dat,msdblog.dat, two text files and two database devices. My question, is it possible in SQL 6.5 to restore a database from just the database device, and if so, how? Thank you.

See BOL re: DISK REINIT & REFIT & recovering with & without backups. You may have to rebuild master and tell SQL you already have a device. Good luck.
