You mean "services "wouldn't" start..." You need to read the M$ whitepaper, http://www.microsoft.com/Exchange/techinfo/administration/55/BackupResto re.asp. You need to use isinteg, and eseutil. If your not well read in this, dude call PSS. They are the bomb! Its worth it the money!!

Since the rebuild I have positioned myself for a better recovery should the situation repeat, which it more than liking will. My question is this--I was fortunate enough to have the private edb and public edb stored on a partition that was not affected by the crash. Is there away to recover the private edb items so that users can get back their old messages? I tried to rebuild the Exchange server exactly like the other, but I am sure it's not 100%. I stopped all services and renamed the new priv.edb and dumped the old in its placed, but then services would start up. Any suggestions or white papers any one might point me to would be appreciated.
