I do not know. I try to script everything and then I save those scripts. I would only use the EM if I had a broken arm. What's is wrong with your QA?

You can only use Enterprise Manager if you have both the MDF and the LDF files, at least that's what I've seen.

right click [databases] node then [all tasks] then [attach database]

pick up the mdf file, if the log doesn't exist, EM will create it for you
