Well, I did finally get a copy of MySQL 4.0.x installed on my computer. It looks like the tables are really corrupt. The iasmchk utility wasn't able to recover them. I am kinda bummed but live and learn. Now I have MySQL 4.0.x, 4.1.x and 5.0.x installed on my computer just for this case.

When I ran ALTER TABLE phpbb_users TYPE = MYISAM in MySQL 4.0 it wiped the tables clean. They showed no records.

When I ran ALTER TABLE phpbb_users TYPE = MYISAM in MySQL 4.1 or 5.0 I got the same silly error I was getting earlier from MySQL.

Thank for the help guys.

ALTER TABLE phpbb_users ENGINE = MYISAM
