Before Reinstall:-
1. For safe take the backup of databases
2. Detach the databases (SP_detach_db)
3. Copy the MDF and LDF to a safe location
After install
1. Apply the same service pack
2. Restore the master database
3. Restore the other database one by one or use SP_ATTCH_DB to attach the
databases
Thanks

created MASTER database before I did any kind of restore it fails? I did
use this which I think will work?:
Did a SQL database backup to D:\<database_1>
then loaded new SQL server.
Ran the RESTORE database option in SQL pointing it to the existing databases
on my hard drive. They show up in SQL.
But, one database we did NOT run the backup on for Goldmine. Any way to
restore that now or are we SOL?
THANKS!

Check if the MDF and LDF file exists for that database,if exits then you try
using sp_attach_db (see books onlinr) to attach the database back to sql
server.
