Table error: IAM page (1:8140747)

Hi:

I am shrinking a database (SQL2000 sp3) with following error:
Server: Msg 8968, Level 16, State 10, Line 1
Table error: IAM page (1:8140747) (object ID 2, index ID 255) is out of the range of this database.

after dbcc checkalloc(ABC)
--------------------------
CHECKDB found 1 allocation errors and 255 consistency errors in table 'sysindexes' (object ID 2).

repair_allow_data_loss is the minimum repair level for the errors found (TollFree ).

I have repaired user tables before. But this time is pointing to a system table.

of course, having a backup before repairing

is there other way for a planB if repairing fall?

my planC is: generate a script for all the DB table index creation. drop all the indexes, then dbcc checkalloc again to see still with above error. then, recreate indexes.

thanks
David

I'm with your plan c.
