what are you trying to do? If you are trying to pull data from the logfiles (to recreate a drop table, or restore missing data for example) you can use 3rd party tools like lumigent log explorer or red-gate sql log rescue.

nope. you need to use a 3rd party tool. I have used both tools in the past, and have found that they both work similarly.
