help...
My Winnt 4 server crashed and does not start now. However i have the dat files of sql server 6.5 on that hard disk intact.The data on the old harddisk is still intact , only winnt server fails to start and hence i cannot start sql server.
I have installed winnt server 4 on a new pc and also sql server 6.5 but i cannot retrieve my old data using just those dat files. Is there any way out for me?

i tried using the bcp utility on my new system but i guess theres a problem with the field terminator. How do i retrieve my data from the dat files.


plz help me ..urgent replies needed.
Thanxz.
