Recovering exchange2k3 db on a new server, sbs2003

One of my clients had an interesting week last week. The office manager had
some personal issues with someone and decided to 1) trash the offsite
backups that she was in charge of 2) take a fire axe to the server,
including the external drive and the backup hardware (a box of hardware that
would allow us to build an identical server at any given time).
Everything was destroyed EXCEPT the hard drive! The hard drive was
completely unharmed amazingly enough! The new hardware and server is up and
running and is completely different then what we had before there. I can't
get it to boot up, even in safe mode. But like I said, the drive is fine
and the data is in tact. I've made copies of said drive and have the db files ready to go.
All the documents, faxes, etc. were easy enough to
recover of course. However, I've never had to recover exchange files like
this.
We had to put a new server in production and quickly so not to lose e-mails, so now I have to recover and import instead of just go from the old.
SBS2003 won't let me create a new mailbox store and the recovery storage group won't let me browse to the database as far as I can tell either.
Thank you.
