Restoring Sharepoint content database

Hi, My WSS_Content database had got corrupt. And my pc was infected by virus. I had no backup of my WSS_Content database. So, I copied the corrupt database to a separete disk, formatted and reinstalled Sharepoint, with SQL Server 2005 as before (I'm using sharepoint 2007 ). I used Sytools Sharepoint Recovery tool, that i found on the net, which helped me restore my corrupt WSS_Content database. Now i want to set this content database as my "The content database" for my newly installed sharepoint. I tried the steps that i found in the link :-

I get stuck at step 3.

Can anybody help me. I am really in a big mess. Would appreciate any help.

Thanks, Jude Aloysius

Could you specify what error you get when trying to attach the database on step 3 ?
