Corrupted file in Server 2003

I have a Server 2003 (used for file sharing) where the domain controller died on me and of course the server shut down improperly.

Now everything I try to go log in, I see an error message of a corrupted file.

The file that is corrupted is the ~$dit.doc file, and I do not need it but I cannot delete it.

Can someone provide me a way to remove the file without any downtime?!

Please look at the attached image

True...like rindi said try that first (despite your no downtime request).

See here: (but use the /x parameter as rindi suggested, not /f only)
