If you've lost some data then first see if you can restore it from a
backup. Assuming you want to recover some data selectively then you can
restore to a new database and extract the data you want.
Maybe you just need to know how to insert an IDENTITY column value. In
that case, use the SET IDENTITY_INSERT option:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT tbl ON;
INSERT INTO tbl (id, col1, col2) VALUES (1234, 'foo','bar');
SET IDENTITY_INSERT tbl OFF;
Hope this helps.

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
