Data Recovery possible on 2200 Mirrored Drives?
The 80GB mirrored drives in a SnapServer 2200 corrupted in the OS area and created a panic each time the machine booted. About 60GB of mirrored data may be gone.
With the help of the forum, [and extra help from Misterbill and The Doc] I now have two 200GB replacement drives up and running with 48bit addressing. 380GB of blank space. Thanks to both the ftp sites and the excellent notes available to walk a newbie through all of this.
Back to the 80 GB drives. Nothing seems to recognize the drives. I've tried Knoppix, DiskDolly, and some mounting utilities.
An older SnapAppliances link suggested I format one of the mirrored pair, which did not work, leaving me with one drive [hopefully] containing intact data.
Does anyone know of a way to only replace the OS section on the one drive with data and leave the remaining data intact so it can be retrieved? This contains photos of my daughters recent wedding. It would be nice to sleep in my own bed again. :shrug:
Any input would be appreciated.
