There is no dbrepair.exe.

See Tony Toews' article on corruptions:

thanks for the reply,

i tried that utility as well and it still does not work,
any other ideas on trying to get it to work?

thanks, joe

Have you tried all the steps in Tony's article?

Have you tried creating a new database and importing all
objects from the existing (corrupted) database?

If the above fails, try importing ONE object at a time and
simply re-create the ones you can't import.

Tony also has links to commercial recovery services if the
database is important enough.
