OK. Thanks a lot.
This is still confusing for me
"just remove the new content database and recreate one, it will generate a
new one with different name. "
Can you go into details.?
So far we have
- make a copy of your old content database
-------------
- install WSS (which creates a content database and a config database)
- remove the content database (how?)
- recreate one (how?) - will generate a new one with a new name
Note: what is the difference between this one and the one you had when you
newly installed WSS ? They are both empty content databases so why do you
need these 2 steps ?
- restore the old content database from backup
- add the (new) content database to the virtual server
