the .ldf is only going to contain log files. If you have a corupt DB file, then you would be better of just creating a new DB instance, editing your ODBC settings and doing a reinstall of vCenter

...or if you have a backup somewhere, you may want to restore that, which will save you some trouble of rebuilding your entire vCenter instance.
