A clients server crashed. I had to restore the C: drive. That worked like a charm. Exchange now wont mount the databases. Databases are on the D: drive. I am attempting to run the ESEUTIL option to recover with the following parms and get the following error.<br />

C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin&gt;ESEUTIL<wbr /> /R E00 /I /LC:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MDBD<br />
ATA /SD:\Exchange Data\mdbdata<br />

Usage Error: Invalid argument 'Files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA'. Options must be preceded<br />
&nbsp;by '-' or '/'.<br />

It would seem to not like the space between program and files in the first argument.<br />
The paths are correct what am I missing?
