When it's as bad a mess as you're running into I think you have to ask the question: Why haven't I done a re-install yet?
I mean, what's on this box that's so important it can't be lost? I guess it's a safe bet that there's no backups in existance, and no disaster recovery options. Hopefully, you're at least getting paid well to fix this; but, what's worth the bucks on the drives? Can you just recover the files that can't be lost?
It's a simple value judgement, I guess, that each person must make. Is what's on the drive worth all the effort?
