How do I recreate or rebuild an index key?

Hi,

I cannot access my database.

After running the command "myisamchk -r /var/lib/mysql/*/*.frm"

I get this error response:

/var/lib/mysql/test_database/sales.frm' doesn't have a correct index
definition. You need to recreate it before you can do a repair.

I cannot find any information in the man isamchk or the on line MySQL
documentation on how to recreate or rebuild an index. Do I have to recreate
the table with the original create table statement or perhaps use an ALTER
table statement?

Regards,
