Hi guys and gals,

I have a bit of a problem.

I have two IDE disks RAID (mirroring) and the Primary master has died.
The secondary master seems OK, but wont boot since there was no bootable
flag. Everything work AOK until someone rebooted the system as one of the
disks must have gone down recently.

If i put the bootable flag on the secondary disk whilst in fdisk from LINUX
RESCUE mode (from Redhat CD), it still wont boot.

My question is how can i rescue the data from that disk being only one side
of a RAID (even though it is mirrored)

Any help would be hugely appreciated.
