Run Sql Server Management Studio
In the Object Explorer pane, right click "Databases" and select "Attach..." from the context menu.
In the dialog that appears, press the "Add" button.
Browse to your database, and click "OK"
Click "OK" to close the Add Dialog.

You can now see this database in SQL server.
