what exactly is wrong with server? as for recovering data from RAID5 setup... i'd suggest you to use this http://www.runtime.org/raid.htm ... you might also need some app for disk cloning.. like Norton.Ghost or Acronis.True.Image... * +

Also o's installed on lower version cant boot on higher version hardware but o's installed on higher version hardware can run on lower version hardware. As per my experience company employees backup operator for important server machine's. And what's the use those policies which prohibit doing backup *
