I've recently suffered from a power outage on one of my monitoring servers at the office. The result of that outage caused for some database tables to get corrupted.

I've successfully repaired 3-4 tables by using the "use_frm" option however there are still 3 that seem to be badly corrupted and are not responding to the mysql REPAIR command (with or without use_frm)

mysql> REPAIR TABLE poller_item;
+-------------------+--------+----------+----------------------------------------------       ------------+
| Table             | Op     | Msg_type | Msg_text                                                    |
+-------------------+--------+----------+-------------------------------------------------  ---------+
| cacti.poller_item | repair | Error    | Incorrect information in file:    './cacti/poller_item.frm' |
| cacti.poller_item | repair | error    | Corrupt                                                      |
+-------------------+--------+----------+-------------------------------------------------  ---------+

In this scenario are there any other way to repair a table?
