Here is the situation:

> C drive containing the SQL server 2005 is gone

> D drive for data is available

> E drive for logs is GONE

> no backup of mdf nor the ldf file

current dondition:

> a new sql needs to be rebuilt

> the MDF files need to be restored

All the attach various commands are not the options because the DBs where shutdown ungracefully.

So, here is the Q.

How, to restore an MDF file on the new sql server without the original ldf file.

thx
