It is possible to attach the database without a log file using ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG. With the help of the following script, we attach the ASPNETDB database when there is only mdf file.
1 2 3 4 | USE [master] GO CREATE DATABASE [ASPNETDB] ON ( FILENAME = N'C:\D\Backup\Aspnetmdf\aspnetdb.mdf' ) FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG GO |

You can find the details of the detach and attach operations in the article titled “How To Change The Disk Of Database Files“.
