Hello everyone,

I know this is off topic but you guys and girls always give good advice.

I have been getting event Ids 116, 118 and 200 a lot in my application log.

The chain of events went like this

I installed SP3 for W2K
The next day the Exchange Database went through some type of conversion and
logged Event ID 174 hundreds of times (Table/Column/Index Definintions)
On that same day one of my Hard Drives in my RAID 5 Config failed, I
replaced it 3 days later
Since then every time the online maintenance on the exchange database ran it
logged a Database Page Cache error (Event ID 116 and 118 and 200)
And now ArcServe cannot backup the database fully and commit the logs to the
database so I now have 500 log files in my mdbdata directory.

MS Support wants me to restore from the day the HD failed after I rename the
mdbdata directory and create a new one.  Then they want me to copy in all
the log files and wait for the log files to replay into the database.  The
only other option is to do a eseutil or build a new server and migrate
everyone over.

Have any of you done what MS is recommending?  Do any of you feel that this
is the way to go?  Does anyone know what would of caused these errors, was
it SP3 or was it the HD Failure?

Any help is appreciated
