Re: can't repair a corrupted database

Hi Joseph,

That error means that the fixed marker in a header area at the start of 
the database file is not the value that is expected.  This is a problem 
an automated repair tool can not fix because the header is not intact.

May I ask if there was any specific event before this happened, such as 
a disk crash?  The header area is very simple in design and I do not 
believe an error in Mckoi could cause it to become corrupt.  The magic 
value is written only once when the store is created and it is not 
touched again after that.  If the magic value is corrupt then it 
suggests to me an outside problem.

Would it be possible to send the database to me, or just the files that 
fail to repair, to [email protected]?  If you can I'll take a look and see 
if I can work out what happened.

Thanks,
Toby.
