 * One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.
 * This is the message I got when I tried to upload WordPress to my new site. I 
   have worked with WordPress before and have yet to see this message. Can anyone
   tell me how to fix it, I tried to repair the database (like it suggests) but 
   it won’t let me complete the task all the way. Anything will help!!

 * Access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this
   in their control panel), check all of the tables, and choose “Repair tables” 
   from the pull-down menu.

 * I found this tutorial on how to repair your tables in phpmyadmin
    [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/repair/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/repair/)
 * Do you know how to access the phpMyAdmin ?
 * And here is a great plugin for this incase something happens later and you can
   still access your WP dashboard
