I use Windows 2003 Server on my PDC on my home network and it seems my AD install is fubared. Unfortunately I have no backups or secondary servers.

Is there anyway to recover my accounts and rebuild or reinstall AD?

And here is the error;
"Active Directory could not be initialized.

The operating system cannot recover from this error.

User Action
Restore the local domain controller from backup media.

Additional Data
Error value:
