CRM 3.0 redeployment part 2

In the redeployment... i have not backed up the AD. rather i created a new AD and created the corresponding users on it. reference figure of the installation can be found in the page 1 of the installation guideline journal. i had 4 users in the previous installation, one user having marketing manager role, two having system administrator role (one is the domain administrator, other is the CRM administrator) and the last one having a custom created role. as in the redeployment documentation i have installed the CRM redeployement wizard in server 2. now let us go through the steps for restoring the server. Step 1: our laptops are not specifically used for CRM purposes, so there is no back up for laptop clients necessary. There is no Great Plains. No WorkFlows. Both .mdf and .ldf files for the databases My_Organization_Name_METABASE My_Organization_Name_MSCRM has been backed up. Step 2: Not necessary Step 3: AD domain controllers SQL server (with 2005 reporting services) Exchange 2003 has been installed..... Step 4: The CRM metabase and the database has been restored. the problem begins when restoring the MSCRM database. it shows a warning message (as shown in the figure). the message says, "one or more full text catalogs are used by this database. do you want to locate the full text database? (click No to skip attaching full text catalogs.)" in this stage i clicked No. and the database got attached with no error message.
