The original disk will not mount due to volume group name conflicts with the existing drive(s).
Follow this procedure to rename the volume group on the original disk:
Boot from SME Server 7.1 (or newer) install CD
press F5
type "sme rescue" at the command prompt and hit enter
Note: don't start the network and skip mounting the filesystem.
mdadm -AR /dev/md5 /dev/hdx2
lvm vgscan
lvm vgs -v
lvm vgchange -a n
lvm vgrename orig_vg_name new_vg_name
exit
Now remove the CD and reboot
mdadm -AR /dev/md5 /dev/hdx2
vgscan
vgchange -a y new_vg_name
mkdir /mnt/tmp
mount /dev/new_vg_name/root /mnt/tmp
You should now be able to view all your old data under /mnt/tmp
Follow the steps listed above to use CopyFromDisk to restore the data.
