Does anyone have a clue how to get the data off the secondary drives when the primary drive fails?

It just reboots, it doesn't recognize it as a reinstall and would erase everything with a new install. I put a drive on another computer and it shows it is there and has data but it will not allow me to open the files.

Thanks, if any more information is needed I'll be back in about an hour.

TCY!!!

Assuming the secondary drive has not failed, pull it and slave into another working box or use as external/addl storage.

You can also just replace the primary drive/reload OS and you should have all data on the secondary drive as it was.

This is also assuming your 'primary/secondary drives' are actual drives and not just partitions of the same drive.

I already put it in another computer and it would let me open folders but not open files.

It says it will erase all the data for a new install and the reinstall option is no longer there.

5 Full drives with data on them but no way to access them.

I didn't setup the network, my dad did for the business. My network knowledge is zero compared to people that know networks.

Is a bootable linux CD easy. I have the files I need saved else where but they are over a week old and I have no idea what all I updated.
