So in summary, you had two physical volumes (HDs) combined into one volume group (VolGroup00) and that was split into two logical volume (LogVol00 and LogVol01). In this case, the data on the second drive is pretty much toast unless logical volume mapping is written to all physical drives of the volume group. And if you had that, there's still a chance that sections of both logical volumes where split between both drives. This is at least how I understand how the Linux LVM works. -Paul
