The computer is a Power edge 2900 using Vmware Server 3.0.5. on a riad 10.
My friend ask me to recover data from this computer. ( I never heard of Vmwear or raid 10, I thought it was on Windows XP)
I did not know it was in a raid 10 or on Vmwear, so I pulled the first disk out (1 0f 4) then I slaved it to my computer but could not see any data for obvious reason. Now I read up on raids and I'm a little more familiar with it but not enough to recover data. The raid is broken and Vmwear does not boot up all the way.
let me tell you what I've done. Maybe you can help me this way. I remove hard drive1 in position 0. I disconeted the other 3 but did no remove then, remember the last one is a hot spear. I got a new hard drive installed it in position 0 with Vmwear ESX Server 3i (60 day trail), with raid 0. What I want to do is import disk 2 and 3 (in posotion 1 and 2) wich are in raid 10 to the new raid 0 with out messing up the data.

1. is this safe?? Will it work??
2. how do i do it, what are the steps??
