Thanks. I'm at the office now and the RAID (SAS) connector is smaller than the 80 pin on the hard drive, so won't be effing with that at all. Headed to Frye's in a bit to work out one of the other solutions.

This drive is the one back from the data recovery service. It was used a the target drive. We had sent it along with the server as the tech that first troubleshot this bought a new drive to try and re-build the RAID with no success. So, this drive was a spare.

Had I known it's origin at the time, I would have asked for the data on DVDs instead of on that hard drive and we would not have any issues. I "assumed" the spare disk came from somewhere else and was an IDE drive which I would just hook up to my External IDE drive enclosure or to my achine at home or to one in her office as a secondary drive as I have done 100's of times in the past.
