Restoring files from the database
I suggest you use the Enterprise manager (gui tool to manage SQL).
Restoring a single table is not an option.
You can however restore a file or filegroup.
Make sure to backup before you start and NOT to restore database to its original name or original file location, to avoid acidents.
Normally you will have databases with only 2 files: the data at its Primary file group, and log file.
You may wish to create a new file group and move tables to the new group by recreating them there and exporting data from old table to new table. Then recreate indexes. This may prove to be complex as all tables and indexes have unique names and can't coexist with exact duplicate of them.

Open your SQL Server Management Studio console. This application shortcut is available in the SQL Server directory in the Windows Start button.
· Enter the system administrator user name and password. SQL Server's administrator user name is "sa." This account is required for privileges to restore the database. If your restoring on a host provider server, use the administrator user name and password they supplied for your account.
·Right-click your database name and select "Attach." In the new window that opens, click the "Add" button to open a dialog box.
·Select your MDF file and press the "Ok" button. It may take several minutes to restore the database if it is a large file. Once the process is finished, browse your tables to verify the data. The database is now restored.

Note: If you are running a 64-bit version of a Microsoft Windows
Server™ operating system, you need to use SQL Server 2000 Enterprise
Edition (64-bit). Visit the

SQL Server 2005 set up ... ERROR Replprov .dll
are you installing from DVD ?
Maybe try copying installation to local drive.
Do not copy to desktop or other sub folder of "Documents and Setting" as this causes other problems in some cases.
SQL server won't work on my laptop
Two ways to access your server. First, make sure the SQL Server Service is running. Start | Run | Services.msc | Enter. Look for Microsoft SQL Server Service and that it's running. Or Look for the SQL Service Broker icon by the clock and see that it's running. The default instance of SQL Server uses the Hostname. Start | Run | Cmd | Enter. The type hostname. This will be the name to access to server. Then type IPCONFIG, this is then the IP address that you could also use to access it.
SQL Server runs on port 1433, so any firewall has to have it open.
Open Query Analyzer, type in the hostname or ip of the local box, type in "sa" and the password for sa (if setup in mixed mode) or Windows Authentication.
Once you login in, you should now see the databases in the Tree on the left side under the Server | Databases node.
Your description though states "SQL Server won't work on my laptop". TO answer this, the only two SQL Editions that work on anything other than "SERVER" software is SQL Professional and SQL Developer. All others have to be on a "SERVER" platform.
