edb.log corrupted

[Guest]

had a sector go bad on my HD and the edb.log was effected and now i cant boot up the machine normally. It gives me an error saying its rebuilding the active directory and then i get a pop up window telling me

security accounts manager initialization failed. directory services cant start. error status: 0x00002c

i can boot into the AD recovery mode but i'd like to get things working normally. I never scheduled any backups of the edb.log or any of the other files in there

There was a file called edb0001.log. i tried replacing the broken edb.log with it but it didnt help

Is there anything i can do to correct this

thanks

Ia

P.S. remove the --xx-- garbage from my email address if emailing me, thank
