Catalog Database recovery/restore failure

A Win2003 SBS running on one of the small HP Netservers rebooted today withouth any human intervention. The Application Event log shows several errors with the following text:
Catalog Database 1248 Database recovery/restore failed with unexpected error -539
ID: 454, Source ESENT.
There was also an error in the System log: Source: System Error, Id: 1003

Exchange is NOT running on this server. It is running as a Domain controler, File- and printserver only.

The system disk was full yesterday, and user files were moved / deleted to free up approx. 4GB.

Any ideas what to do to fix this problem?

Hi.

It is a long time since the installation was done, and the server has been running fine for several years. I recall running through the installation wizard, and Exchange is installed and its services are disabled (we're running another mailserver).

Is it possible to un-install Exchange?  Will there be any side effects?
