If the error message are what I fear, the answer is: yes, you may be able
to get the databases back, but those ways are dangerous and can lead to
severe corruption, and requires complete understanding of what you are
up to. If those databases are dear to you, you should open a case with
Microsoft support.
But start with posting the error message, so we can verify that the problem
is not a more trivial one.
