Problems recovering a corrupted Exchange Database...
I am at my wits end:
Our Exchange Database was corrupted due to power failure. When I try to bring it back online, it fails. I ran eseutil /r e00 and received the following:
Operation terminated with error -1213 (JET_errPageSizeMismatch, The database page size does not match the engine) after 0.187 seconds.
I repaired the database using eseutil /p "DATABASENAME" and it says that the repair was successful.
I ran eseutil /mh "DATABSENAME" and the State reads "Clean shutdown". I try running eseutil /r e00 and I get the same error as before! (I have tried this process over and over again) The Event View posts the following error:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: ESE
Event Category: Logging/Recovery
Event ID: 412
Date: 1/11/2011
Time: 4:03:46 AM
User: N/A
Computer: EXCHANGESERVER
Description:
eseutil (9088) Unable to read the header of logfile C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Mailbox\First Storage Group\e00.log. Error -1213.
I then renamed the folders for the First and Second Storage group by adding "old" at the end. Then I restored a previous copy from backup. I ran the steps and STILL have the same error! How is this possible? I must be doing something wrong! How is it that I still can not recover a copy of the database that was working a couple of days ago?
Can someone PLEASE help? Please do not simply post links on how to use eseutil.
Thank you.

I am a complete idiot. I have spent HOURS not understanding that the log files needed to be removed before I could mount. I thought /r was part of that process! Thank you! Thank you!
Now what is the status ?
Thanks for the points ,Have a nice day ,Good Bye.
Just move all the log files .chk point files to another drive and mount the store
Letus know if you have any further query's.
