Hey

Just wondering if there is something specail to have in
mind.

I will install the cluster from the beginning and then
transfer the database-files. Could this go wrong? and
what?

As a have understod this would only cause one problem,
the bulid in administrator?

Would bee nice if somone could comments little about
this...

If you've saved a copy of all the MDF's and LDF's then you could replace
them with the original files from a new install. If you don't have SQL
backups or copies of these files, then there won't be anything to recover.

If you have backups of the user databases but not master, then you'll
likely run into problems with logins. The following SQL articles will help
you there.
