Suppose the .mdf and .ldf are specifically the AdventureWorks2008R2:

EXEC sp_attach_db @dbname = N'AdventureWorks2008R2', 
    @filename1 = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks2008R2_Data.mdf', 
    @filename2 = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks2008R2_log.ldf';

Straight out of BOL:
