Sorry, I don't understand what you meant by that last reply. Are you saying you can't run CheckDB, that you won't run checkDB or that it produces an error?
If it produces an error, post it. I need to see exactly what that command returns before proceeding further.
One quick question, I noticed a reference to DBID 251. Are there really over 200 databases on this instance?
