Just to add to Bob's steps
if all else fails
Boot into DS Restore Mode and from the command prompt run the following
ESENTUTL /g "<path>\NTDS.dit" /!10240 /8 /v /x /o <enter>
(Note: Type the path without the quotes).
Then delete all the .log files from the NTDS folder and reboot
Hope this helps,
Richard
