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
