The 1018 points to a torn page (aka logical damage within the database). A restore is likely your best bet, but it may require some care to minimize loss around log files.
If you've never done this before, I would strongly advise spending the $250 to open a PSS case and have MS Exchange Support guide you through it.

Everything running great until yesterday. We had major power issues yesterday and the server went down hard, and this morning I find that two of our 5 databases won't mount. (My email is on one of the good ones that do mount). Below is the error. I've changed the server and database name. I have done a shutdown, startup to see if that might help. All 5 databases are on the same raid set, so I don't think I have a hardware issue. >From what I can read (if my google fu is any good), my best option is to >recover from backup (the backup is done daily, using Windows native tools). >Recovery of Exchange databases is something I've never had to do before. Any other thoughts/ideas/hints would be appreciated.
