So, I conclude that nobody but a professional can salvage such a situation.................the DB's are winning...............
It takes some knowledge to do it the way powerpig did.

I don't have all the same knowledge, but I do have a good disk image available, and a bootable CD to let me restore it. If you value your time, then you should, too!

It worked great for me a few months back when a system hard drive failed. New hard drive in... restore image... back to work.
