The quickest would be to restore the site from backup.
Exponential does not support restoring the site structure, only the content. So it will take some time to re-build this manually.

To create a new root folder you will have to insert data in the following tables
-ezcontentobject -ezcontentobject_attribute -eznode_assignment-ezcontentobject_tree
make sure it si using the node id 2
you can read the past settings from the the
kernel/sql/mysql/kernel_schema.sql
Doing no daily backups isn't funny either.

I would suggest that you back up your database (even if it is corrupt) before you do anything else:
mysqldump -u <user> -p <pass> <db_name> > backupfile.sql
When you've backed it up: try to create a new root node by doing as Bjørn says. Finally: you can try to do manual restore from trash, node-by-node. Good luck!
