You should at least back up your system state data (AD). With 2000 you can back up to another disk or another server using the built-in Winbackup. Then, if it happens again, you're only replacing a HDD instead of a domain.

I rebuilt the root domain lets call it Root.net After the DNS installed I set it to allow automatic updates I then went in and my child domain information has re-registered completely and all of my stuff has started to work fine (from what I can tell)... Now that I have convinced management of the need for REAL servers and they are on order can I hold off till I get those servers to rebuild anything?

Especially if chkdsk -f can't fix the error. Me thinkee you is gonna be in the office REAL late . . . Gonna have to rebuild your entire domain structure. Again, badger mgmt for real hardware - although you do have to take the blame for the backups, you can at least point to this and say . . . "this wouldn't have happened if we had had a real Server with H/W RAID . . ." - and there's no complete guarantee that a restore would have worked, especially if there was data on the area where the bad blocks were. But I think we can all be assured that you will start doing backups from this point forward . . . :) - p.s. make sure to backup the system state if you just use Ntbackup (at least it's free!).
