Win2K Spanned Disk Problems

[NRaygun]

Argh!

I have a simple Win2K system setup with a small primary drive(~8GB) and two data drives - one at 60GB and another at 100GB. I started with the 60GB drive, it started to get full, then I popped in the 100GB drive and made a spanned volume.

All's been fine - until yesterday. It appears that the second data drive(100GB) failed. I cant get the spanned volume back on-line. The BIOS recognizes it and so does a Western Digital util.

Can I simply pop out the two drives and install them in, say, a WinXP machine to get the data? Is there a way to get to the data in the 60GB drive? It seems that this drive is on-line but it's status is "failed".

I recently physically disconnected the power to the 100GB drive to see if the 60GB drive would come up by itself - no luck.

Any ideas?

Here's the relevant info in Disk Management:

Disk 0, Basic, 7.86 GB Online - C: 7.86GB NTFS Healthy(System)
Disk 1, Dynamic 55.90GB Online - 55.90 GB Failed
Missing Dynamic 93.16GB Offline - 93.16GB Failed

Note that at this point I've removed the power from the "missing" offline 93.16GB drive above.

I'm hoping I can at least get the data from the Online drive.

Does anyone know if the data is just sequential on the two drives or does it do something fancier? If the data sequential, I'm thinking I can get my files off of each drive by inserting into another system.

Another bit of data - the only thing that has changed recently is the application of a few (maybe 6) system updates for Windows Update.

Does anyone know of a way to find the date of the most recent system updates? I think I did this in the last few days but I remember one or two of them that didnt complete that I later went back to apply.
