CIM 7 SP2 Reinstall

I have (or should say had) and installation of IM7 SP2 on the workstation class machine, but utilizing an SQL2K database on a separate server. The hard drive on the IM machine crashed, necessitating a reinstall.

My question is this: Is it possible to reinstall the IM7 and retain the previous database (without overwriting the old DB and then restoring a backup)? When running the install on the new machine and it goes to set up the DB, it sees the old one there and asks if you want to overwrite it. Of course I don't, but saying no just takes you back to the DB setup dialog.

Any help would be appreciated!!
