You might have good luck with CHECKINI, one of the utilities in Henk
Kelder's freeware WPTOOLS package. See:

http://www.os2ss.com/information/kelder/index.html

It won't restore what's gone, but it will clean up a lot of the
problems.

I've used CHECKINI and I'm happy with the results. FOLLOW THE
DIRECTIONS EXACTLY and make sure you have a backup before you use it,
"just in case". I found I had to run it twice -- apparently there are
some backward references that need two runs to take care of.

Hope this helps,
