Sure, all that needs to happen is to edit the settings.php and include your database connection information to your SMF database.

You can enter all the db and the other details again to the Settings.php file. What about the Settings.bak.php file btw? Is it intact? If it is rename it to Settings.php and see if it would help.

I can help you with this if you would need extra help. Hit me with a pm.

If it's truly non-recoverable, there are many ways to go about this.

I'd either use the _bak version or, if that's useless, get a "blank" one from the installer, then use repair_settings.
