When viewing your blog’s Media Library (Media -> Library), there is a filter that shows your Unattached files.

If you click on the Unattached link, all of the media files not associated with a post or page  (i.e. you did not upload them from within a post or page) will be displayed. Attaching files (images, specifically) to a post allows you to use them as part of a Gallery for that post or page.

Reattaching Files

Clicking the Attach link will start the process of attaching the file to a post or page.

First, type some text into the search box, select either Posts or Pages, and click the Search button.

Then, click the radio button next to the post or page you would like to attach the files to, and then click the Select button.

You will then be returned to your Unattached file listing and receive the following message, letting you know that the reattachment was successful.
