Thanks for the quick response! I ran the recover command and got a
response: "The volume does not contain a recognized file system - please
make sure that all the required file system drivers are loaded and the
volume is not corrupted" It the suggests running esentutl.exe. I started
the computer in domain controller recovery mode, safe mode does not seem to
want to start properly. I have run a 3 phase scan disk and recovered 3 bad
clusters.
Any more ideas?

Active Directory is damaged. I am trying to recover the DC by the boot
repair option. I get the messge that I cannot login to the private
configuration server because of unknown user or password. Also getting
error 0xc00002e1. How can I get my DC back in operation?
Dale,
Sounds like the DSRM password is not correct, this is the PW when the
DC is brought online usually teh local admin password. Once you are
able to get in perform a soft recovery of the AD Database.
How to Recover the Database
To recover the database, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click
Run, type ntdsutil in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
2. At the Ntdsutil command prompt, type files, and then press ENTER.
3. At the file maintenance command prompt, type recover, and then
press ENTER.
4. Type quit, and then press ENTER.
5. Restart the computer
