    If you still have the mdf file you can attach only the mdf file. On 2000 use

    sp_attach_single_file_db 'dbname', 'physical_name'

    You can use the GUI to do this, in this case attach only the mdf file. A minimal ldf file will be generated for you, so you will be able to use the database assuming the database has been shut down cleanly. You may still loose some data, depending on how busy your database was.
