I have a server that I decommissioned. I basically unplugged it and put it aside for several months. I realized today that there's some data I want to get off of it, so I turned it back on.
The server is an IBM x345 with 5 U160 drives installed. I'm not 100% sure of the config but it appears drives 0, 3, 4, and 5 were configured as a RAID 5 array of ~100 GB and drive 1 was the OS disk 36GB.
When I turned it back on, the BIOS was reset (probably dead battery, the thing is very old) and all five disks had solid orange error light. I dusted off my old ServeRAID CD and booted off that. The controller config indicated the arrays set up as I listed above, but showed all the drives as defunct. I was able to place drives 3, 4, and 5 online and it proceeded to rebuild drive 0 when I placed it online as well. This makes me think the data is still on that array, which is what I want.
I placed drive 1 online and rebooted the system, but it just asked for me to insert a bootable disk. I installed Win 2k Server to that drive (36GB) (same as was on it before), but when I boot it still indicates that no boot disk is found.
Any help? Thanks for any info.
