Mirrored Drive Access

[Guest]

On my home net server, I have 3 hard drives as follows:
1 - System - Raid-5/1 - Mirrored/1
2 - Raid-5/2 - Mirrored/2 - Data
3 - Raid -/3
My System disk has an error and won't even re-install properly. It appears that it does, but it won't boot after installation. When I put a new hard drive in that slot with a new installation, it won't recognize my Raid or Mirrored drives. The data on the Raid drive is not critical, but the data on the mirrored drive is important. Is there any way to access the Mirrored data?

I doubt that you actually have both a RAID 5 and RAID 1 with only three
drives.

Please rephrase your question and add detail for any likelihood of help.

I only had raid 5. The 5/1, 5/2, and 5/3 were referring to drives 1, 2, & 3. this was just a history. I'm more concerned on accessing my mirrored drive on disk 2
Disk Manager says drive 2 and 3 are Foreign. They said unformatted or damaged when I was installing the fresh version of W2k Advanced Server
Thank
