You could try attaching the database, however that might not work. Restore from backup is your best bet. Please don't say you don't have ANY backups.

Detach the database and move your .mdf file from save location. Create new database with the same name, same files,location and size. Now stop your server. Swap the .mdf file of new database to your old one. Now start the server again.

What exactly are you able to retrieve from the failed system?have you recovered the system (partial) or are you attempting to restore to a new sql server instance?
