The status of our database got set to 'Suspect' from a full hard drive.

Here are the steps I took:
-Made room on the hard drive
-Reset the status so the database was no longer suspect
-Restart SQL Server

The problem, is that when SQL Server restarts and tries to recover, I get the following error:

And then the database goes back into suspect mode and is inaccessable.

I tried putting the database in emergency mode and then seeing if I could select out or export the data but a lot of the data was inaccessable, so this solution doesn't seem like it will work. This also brought the database back to a state of being a couple weeks old.

The .mdf file I have is dated back to a couple weeks old, so restoring to that does not seem viable, unless I can use the transaction log to update the database.
The last backup I have is dated back to a month old, so that also does not seem viable, unless I can use the transaction log to update the database. (I know I am a fool, but I have learned my lesson).

Is there some way I can repair the transaction log so that either I can either recover or use a backup and then restore from the transaction log?

Thank you very much, this is very important to me.

With something like this, it might be a good idea to make one of those $200 phone calls to Microsoft. Just ask yourself, is my data worth $200?
