OK

When I try to mount:
Tells me a log is missing but if I cant find it click Yes to continue, I do and I get the above error. Any help is appreciated.

What caused it to dismount? You didn't delete any log files, did you?

Nope. I would not just delete log files. The server crashed (blue screened). Brought it back up and the malbox database mounted fine but the public folder database wouldn't.

Okay, take a look at

Saw that but not sure what to run as it tells me a log file is missing.

My Public Folder DB is Public Folder Database 1104778659.edb
I tried putting that in quotes but the command doesn't work. I tried just the database and then the whole path.

you can try getting the DB name and piping it into there?

get-publicfolderdatabase <name>* | new-publicfolderdatabaserepairrequest -corruptiontype ReplState -DetectOnly

Have you tried just removing all .log files from the PF log directory and then trying to mount the store? From the errors you posted, it sounds like that might be your only problem.
