Hello,
I installed WSS using the download availabel on microsoft site at the
following link
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=efdc7227-549c-4de1-a063-783f71a8bb2b&DisplayLang=en

After installation I created a Virtual server with the default content
database. This site was used by our CIO for storing some documents.

We were thinking of moving the site to a more powerful server from a PCC
server(PC Convert ). So prior to purchsing the server I wanted to copy the VS
to another server on trial basis. I searched the same and came across a
document that would help me do this.
I was supposed to detach the database and take a back up of the same and
then reattach it. Then take a back up of the site using staadm.

I did the same. After reattaching the database I tried backing the site I
got an error <<Unable to get global configuration data>>.
I tried accessing the site the same error.

To solve this problem I searched the KB and found the following article
Article ID : 900499
Last Review : July 12, 2005
Revision : 1.0
I followed the suggested solution but to no result.

I even tried
Article ID : 832770
Last Review : September 8, 2004
Revision : 1.1
and changed the application pool identity. No use.

Another thing that i noticed was that the content database that has been
attached to the virtual server shows 0 web sites in the current web site
column when viewed from the central administration -> Manage Virtual Server
-> Manage content database.

Can someone help me with two things:-
Where the documents saved in the document library are stored.
Is there any way to find and save these documents to a new location.

All files are stored in the content database. Check this tool to recover
files directly from the database:
