You should run the repair command from the command line on your server instead of doing it through PHPMyAdmin.

Refer to http://www.codero.com/knowledge-base...atabase+tables

Log into the MySql command line tool using the following command and then enter the MySql password.

# mysql -u username -p databasename
# password: ********
mysql> check table tablename;
mysql> repair table tablename;

After the table has been repaired, type 'exit' to quit the command line tool.

mysql> exit
