If memory serves, the April CTP was the last CTP that was able to read the
format of Beta 2. So you would have to install the April CTP to attach the
databases there, and then move the databases from the April CTP to the RTM
version.

Since the April CTP is no longer available for download, this is not really
a workable way. It may be better to script the database (using the Beta 2
tools) and bulk load the data.
