How to create a new serverinstance but with old datafiles?

Hi group
I want to make a new serverinstance, but based on some old files from a
previous instance I once had from a SQL I scrapped.
I only know how to use the SQL Server enterprise manager console, and I
haven't found any tools in there to do that.
Any suggestion will be more than welcome.

You can try to reattach the old database file using sp_attach_db or with
Enterprise Manager. This may not work of the old databases weren't cleanly
detached, though.

Hope this helps.
