Hi

I acquired an old server from a now ex employer about a year ago and it's been working sweetly.   So sweetly in fact that I neglected to check it for some time.  You guessed it, the raid boot partition has failed.  Worse than that, the 2nd raid storeage array also has a failed drive.

So, now I cant boot it and I cant even use another boot drive to get at the storage drive (with my 'backups').

The server is a cloney thing with a gigabyte mother board.  The boot drive is a promise controller with 4 drives.  The storage array is using the onboard nvidia raid with 3 x 2TB WD drives.  

As far as I can tell the Promise raid has 2 drives that have failed.  Worse case scenario, I can live with losing that but it would be nice to recover it or at least get some data off it.

The storage array has one fautly disk but I have a spare one ready for that, if I can get the machine to boot somehow.

The problem is, there are no spare sata ports - the mb only has 4  - 3 of them are used by he nvidia array and the 4th is for the cd.

Does anyone know of a boot image I can use on a usb stick that will let me recover either or both of these raid arrays? 
 

Thanks
