I already tried this way but it failed.
The wizard fail with some errors related to database signs:

06/10/2010 17:18:13.76 w3wp.exe (0x1164) 0x0DA8
Windows SharePoint Services Topology 6800 Critical
The database WSS_Content on SERVER\Microsoft##SSEE is not accessible to
missing Windows Internal Database signatures.

I tried the fix suggested in this kb

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944267/en-us

but the error is still present.

I had a copy of the mdf file but I'm not sure it's ok.
But I made a farm copy, using wss3 central administration, that it's good.

I tried to recover this copy on the same server but I still encounter
database problems (db signatures issue).
So I tried to recover on another server where I installed wss3
The recovery process was finished without error but there was no data in.
The site is like the default.

I check this and try again... i'm a little bit frustrated.... :-(

Thank you for helping me
