I am running SQL Server 6.5 on a Win NT 4 server (service pack 5) and I get a "suspect" database after trying to do a manual syslog dump last night. I need any ideas or help or links to help. I'm desperate!!

Here's what happened:
Dumps are scheduled fro transaction logs at noon and midnight. Our head accountant ran several recalcs and fill the logs in the afternoon and I tried to manually dump them, which I have done before (dump <dbasename> to diskdump, etc).
I ususally have to increase the size of the log "device" to kmake enough room to dump the logs. After increasing the device size by 5 Mb, I then expand the log database and enough room is created to dump. This time a single increase of the device size by 5 Meg didn't let me dump so I went back to the device and increased by another 10 Meg. Now when I went to expand the database I got an error about 32 rows being not enough and then the database went to "Suspect" status and I can't get to it to see anything. I tried a sp_resetstatus but to no avail. I don't know how to check the status of the devices versus the database itself and don't know how to begin troublshooting. I have a backup from a week ago but wanted to exhaust any other remedies first because of data loss from the past week. Any help appreciated. Maybe a reference to a database person we could contract to help.
