msdb restore?

A terrible event has occurred. Our SQL Server 2000 database was attacked an
d
the master, msdb, etc was deleted. We used a utility to undelete those file
s
and have saved them. We had to reinstall Windows and SQL Server, but am
unable to replace the msdb. We have no backup so that isn't an option. Is
there a way to restore our DTS packages from the original msdb? Thanks.Did you try attaching it with a different name?

What *exactly* did you try? I see that you renamed the MDF file, I meant to
attach as a different database name.
If the file is corrupt, and you may be S.O.L. (this is what backups are
