I have retained possession of a Dell Poweredge 1600SC server.
It's got 2 SCSI drives in raid, MAP3367NC (36GB, 10,000 RPM's). There are 2 partitions. I can't find a RAID Configuration screen to access while it's booting, so I don't know what configuration it's in.
My problem is that I need to save the data off one partition before wiping the drives, but the OS (Windows Server 2000) on the other partition is seemingly FUBARED. I don't have a copy of Server 2K to try to repair it either. It'll boot, let you sign on, and then load up, but the cursor never appears and even when using the keyboard to get around it just freezes up almost immediately.
Can I just pull one of the drives out, pop it in another PC, and access the data like that? Will it be whole or would I need to hook up both drives to get it, and will that work?
