Moving mdf & ldf files to another server

I am running SQL Server 7 (SP4) on Windows 2000 Server
(SP3). I am trying to implement a DR solution for my SQL 7
servers. I have a tool (Legato's Replistor) that will
replicate the Data directory to my DR server which has the
same version of SQL running. I have replaced the entire
Data directory with that from the other server. Can I get
these databases loaded doing this?
When I tried starting SQL it started OK but my main DB was
in suspect mode. I tried to detach and attach the database
but I got a corrupt log file message (9003).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You don't want anything accessingthe sql files while it is running. Andeven
if you did get the files to copy to another server they would not be
consistant and could not be trusted. You might want to look into Log
Shipping instead.
