I need a little assist. Is it possible to restore a .DBF file without the log file? If it is how would I do so? My Op systempartician crashed and I need to be able to restore the data from the other partition to a new instance of sql, any thoughts?

What database system are you using? Last time I used a .DBF, that was for dBase IV, and those I used were stand alone files like an Access file is compared to MS SQL.

If this is the case, can't you just copy the file over?
