Recovering Win2000 Mirrored volume

Ok, so lightning hit the other day, and among other things took out my Windows 2000 Server home server. Opened up the machine, and found the (I think) southbridge with a crater blown out of it. This machine is never gonna boot again.

I moved the pair of 120GB drives out of it onto my Windows 2000 Pro workstation. The 120's had been configured with a 4 GB Mirrored System partition, a 10 GB Mirrored data partition, and the rest was two independent, about 100 GB scratch volumes. No, I don't have an ERD with this disk configuration on it.

My Windows 2000 Pro mounted the drives fine; and the two scratch volumes were accessible. The two mirrored volumes were marked "Failed". I have been unsuccessful at getting at the data on these volumes; anyone have any help?

Thanks,

Take a look at the data recovery options at Ontrack.com and Runtime.org. I've had good luck in the past retrieving data with both of these companies software products.
 
I'm pretty sure that you will need a MS server OS to be able to import the mirrors, since 2000 pro and XP do not natively support MS OS mirroring.
