I have checked hard drive space, I have 1.67 GB free on the OS drive and 231 GB free on the Exchange Drive.  What would prevent these services from running?

My Exchange server is not running at all please help!

Stop all exchangeservices,
and start each according to your dependencies...
Viruses?  Check your quarrantine.

Ram Available?  Have any BIOS errors? Close out Virus apps, or any unneeded.

Post again, any other errors..

I tried starting the services one at a time in order and I still get the errors on the Routing engine starting and SMTP.  Got the error not enough resources.

Performance is fine.  CPU and MEM usage are fine, sitting at les then 3 percent utilization on both.

Certificate service is not loading either.  Same error.

Closed virus program, still same issue.  I did notice that Pub1.stm, pub1.edb, priv1.stm.stm and priv1.edb are over 18gig and I have read that if they are over 16 gig it can cause an issue.  
Experts Exchange is like having an extremely knowledgeable team sitting and waiting for your call. Couldn't do my job half as well as I do without it!

I already tried restoring Exchange with the /disasterrecovery option and did that with SP1 and SP2.  I also restored the system state from last night's backup.  I get the same errors at the command line as well.  I just noticed that RPC is not running on one of my domain controllers, could this effect these services?

MMM can't say that I know if exchange is dependent upon that servers rpc..,  youve already tried it by now, why did it not start or fail?  reboot the exchange server.

Oh, sorry hit the submit by accident.

Can you stop any service that are not "completely needed" to try to at least get the mailserver up? and try to work backwards then...

I will have to try that in a few hours.  I noticed that when I ran the disaster recovery switch with Exchange it deleted my mailboxes, so now I am restoring them.  
Sembee

The disaster recovery switch was the wrong choice.
That pulls information from the domain and is designed for use when installing Exchange on a fresh machine to replace one that is dead.
As you had a semi functional Exchange server you should have just done a reinstall on top of the existing installation, followed by reapplying the service packs.
