[WinMac] Services for Macintosh

Hi,
        I am stumped. I have a NT Server (4.0 sp4) running services for
macintosh and Delta RIP software driving an Iris and Quasar imagesetter.
This is a new system and I need to have it operational yesterday.
        My trouble started with disk corruption on 2 drives after a restart
of the server with a Quark file open on a Mac Workstation (it WAS
late...O.K., I'm a moron but knowing is half the battle). When it rebooted
the server said "possible corruption etc. and ran auto check. The two
drives were no longer visible in the chooser and in the macfile/volumes
window they were Xed out. I removed the files & attempted to share them
again & got the message that they must be NTFS formatted, which they were.
So I reformatted them & got the same message then I deleted the partition &
reformatted & got the same message when I tried to create a mac volume. The
other mac volumes(on different drives) are still visible in the chooser so
I am pretty sure the problem is with these drives and not the services for
macintosh. I have a repair disk but have never used one successfully before
(I'm NTilliterate). I used Disk Manager to reformat the drives, is there
another utility I should use? Will the repair disk help? Has anyone seen
this before?

TIA
