Any idea on how was it damaged? Are you backing up across the network to a remote server? If it is damaged, the most current data you'll be able to retrieve is up to your 2:30PM log backup as the damaged backup broke the log chain. Retore your full backup with NORECOVERY, restore all tansaction log backups through 2:00Pm, also with NORECOVERY and finally your 2:30PM backup with RECOVERY (see BOL for syntax).

Yup - no way to fix a corrupt log backup.

On 2005 it's possible to restore a corrupt log backup using WITH CONTINUE_AFTER_ERROR, and then run a full CHECKDB and repair - but that way usually creates inconsistencies in the database.

3. My DB was crash with 3.46 PM.
-----------
What error message when you try to attach those crashed MDF file ?
Or What is the latest error message pertaining to this database when the SQL server is re-started ?

This information is required as first step to identify the problem and fix the database.
