Do you mean to say that you lost the hard drive(s) and the mdf and ldf files are gone forever? In that case, the best you can hope for is a restore from the six-month old backup. If the database is really critical, you might consider seeking the help of companies that recover data in such cases - but they tend to be very expensive.

try something like

1. Create a new database
CREATE DATABASE <DBname here>

2.use sp_helpdb to get the filenames for the mdf and the ldf you just created

sp_helpdb <DBname here>

it will have logical names for data and log files

3.use RESTORE FILELISTONLY to get the logical filenames of the mdf and ldf in the backup file like

RESTORE FILELISTONLY 
FROM DISK = <your backup file path>

4.Use RESTORE with MOVE like so

RESTORE DATABASE <DBname>
FROM DISK = <backup path>
WITH REPLACE,RECOVERY,
MOVE <Logical data file name> TO <your new data file path> , MOVE <logical log file name> TO <your new log file path>

What do you mean by you don't have mdf and ldf? you can't delete mdf and mdf if database is in use. IF your db online, run DBCC Checkdb and post the error message in Data Corruption page so expert can help you with it. Otherwise you will have to restore from full backup.

If you have full database backup then you can easily restore your database by using two options:

1. SQL Server Management Studio
2. Transact-SQL

Please take look of these two Microsoft KB Articles:
