I think the you have bad permissions on Your NTDS folde

Go to directory Services Restore Mode by pressing F8

Make sure that the Administrator and System accounts have Full Control on the NTDS folder and Active Directory log files and that the System account had Full Control on the drive root and on the %SystemRoot% folder
