Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.94 (Intel X86)
Aug 6 2000, 00:57:48
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195:
Service Pack 1), which is Win2K Advanced Server.

We created a test database and the transaction log was
physically erased from the hard disk, but the primary *.MDF
is intact. From just this data file, how can the suspect data
base be repaired (i.e. to create the trans log. and re-attach)?

My database logical name is Sprint_data.MDF, and the
log file WAS Sprint_log.LDF, which was located in another
drive (RAID 5) before it was accidentally deleted. There
are no backups (oops).
