Can I delete an .LDF file and then start SQL Server? Will it start okay? (SQL Server 7.0)
 
Suggest you detach the database first. Then delete the log file and then reattach the database using sp_attach_single_file_db. Read about this in Books online first, I don't have 7.0 so you'll want to make sure it works in 7.0. Why do you want to get rid of your log file?
