    hi all,

       I am trying to attach a WSS_Content (WSS_Content.mdf) database taken from from a different Sharepoint Server .

    I follow the steps as follows -

    1 . First i detach WSS_Content from Sql Server 2005 of a different sharepoint

    2 . Attach it to Sql server 2005 of my sharepoint server

    3 . Add Content database through Central Administration of my sharepoint server  

          but i face "Unknown Error" in Central Administration.

     Can I get help on how to do this
