Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

I received HP Proliant Dl380, with 2 Ultra320 SCSI 70GB model ST373207LC with RAID0. Conditions of Data from Server RAID is damage/overwriting because was redefine or reconfigure the RAID in the BIOS (1 of disk was rebuilded) with my client, I try to recover data with 2 scsi connected individually and directly to the computer as ordinary disks, bypassing the RAID controller (UltraSmart). Maybe someone was have experence with Proliant dl380 , Can give me some informations. How values from :
1. first Sector, for the disk1 (ST3207LC), and for the disk2(ST3207LC). 0/s Windows2003
2. Block Size for Proliant DL380, ( i didn't know the first constructions)
3. Data Block /Parity
We can try and eror for searched the good conditions, but needed much time with the 1024 probability. Or Can help me displayed quick methods to Recover the first configurations?
I have another problems with SCSI Cloning,
I try to cloning SCSI( Disk1) because is critical disk and replaced Disk1 from raid array.(for IDE i use hpa mhdd, to make the same lba with SCSI).
A. SCSI(Disk1)..>IDE...>SCSI(Disk3)
B. SCSI(Disk1)..>scsI(Disk4)
If we looked SCS1(Disk3 & Disk4) in winhex,is diference positions.and RAID Configurations can't runing with SCSI (Disk3) but succesfull in SCSI (Disk4). I thinks, the problems because first sector for IDE and SCSI is Diferent.
How to Convert sector position hdd,if i want methods cloning, SCSI..>..IDE..>SCSI Sucsesfully. Maybe, Pepe can give me advice.

No, i stil have 20% probabilty, because if recovery with starting first sector for Disk1 :512, and 1024 for Disk2, and use striping block size 128 KB , i can recovery *.doc, *.xls under 64 kbytes and can normaly displayed, but upper 64kbytes file is broken ( In JPG we only can view 1/2 page normaly)
I only needed *.ldf with 1.1mb . The problems , whats true value for the first sector and value striping block size.
