Recovering corrupt repository

Disaster struck this morning, a classic blue-screen of death on my XP
box right in the middle of a commit. I've not been able to persuade
subversion to recover the repos.

Initially tried 'svnadmin recover' which seemed to work OK, but trying
to checkout a new copy of the repos resulted in:

svn: Filesystem is corrupt
svn: corrupt entry in `transactions' table for `1o' in filesystem
`c:/svn/db'

So I tried to use 'svnadmin rmtxns 1o' and got:

svn: Filesystem is corrupt
svn: svn_fs__rep_contents: checksum mismatch on rep "m7":
   expected: 59c1e125a629d99be3a2881cd105e4bd
     actual: bcd8b0c2eb1fce714eab6cef0d771acc

Next I gave 'svnadmin dump' a go and got the file-system is corrupt
error again after dumping a fair number of revisions. I think that this
has got all but commit that was in progress at the time of the crash in
it, but can't be completely sure as I don't pay much attention to the
revision number returned.

Will this dump be valid, or will the corrupt filesystem thang have made
a mess of the dump file that needs to be resolved by specifying the
revisions to dump?

Ta.

        - Dale.
