Re: [Xen-users] want to recover data from dom-U in a failed raid array

Hi,
if pvm, likely you just can mount it.
if hvm, likely it has it's own MBR. either copy it out and run as domU 
or loopmout it with offset (first partition will likely be at 1MB, if 
there were more partitions you'll have to check where they start). I do 
this when I want to boot domU directly on the metal :)
