A repair install does not require you to reinstall Active Directory or
perform a system state restore - your machine should come back up as a DC
with the OS effectively having no updates applied. However, you may have to
reinstall drivers. If necessary, RAID drivers can usually be installed by
pressing F6 during setup.
