--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have 3 drives configured with raid 5, and while installing another
drive the disks were being shown as offline. The server was powered
down and the drive was installed. When the server rebooted, the boot
sector could not be found. The data was stored on the system
partition. Is there anyway of retrieving the data?


Server Configuration

The C Drive has system files, Apache webserver and Mysql data.
The D Drive has various programs.
