WSS 3.0 Restore
Had a problem over the weekend that IIS/WSS 3.0 crashed and was unable to get it up and running again.
I made a backup on the WSS 3.0 databases and uninstalled it. Reinstalled and everything is fine except now I need to try retrieve my old site collect.
Is this possible from the DB backups I made?

I have done as stated above, have restored the old DB to SQL and try to add the content DB and get this:
The specified SPContentDatabase Name=WSS_Content_old Parent=SPDatabaseServiceIn stance Name=Microsoft##SSEE has been upgraded to a newer version of SharePoint. Please upgrade this SharePoint application server before attempting to access this object.
SP3 wit WSS 3.0 has been installed and no other version of Sharepoint has ever been run on this server.

now i get this:
Attaching this database requires upgrade, which could time out the browser session. You must use the STSADM command 'addcontentdb' to attach this database
