or was there actual data you on the boot drive you wanted?

i've used these guys before on a a 2 failed drive raid 5 array on a HP DL320 running a database server they got it working and we where able to recover the mdf files clean out the corruption.

raid recovery + copy was around 2k

i've had other use them all with sucesss in getting back about 95% of files at betwen 600-800
There are multiple filesystems in the LVM partition, including /home . I've dropped the whole box off at the local computer shop. They have names of a couple of recovery companies. If they can get it to the point where they get the lilo menu we'll see if any of the partitions (2 Linux, 1 Windows) will boot. One of the Linux and Windows are on another spindle.

A good start would be if it would boot from a Slackware DVD.
