Unfortunately, you're out of luck. The .key file and .crt file are a related to each other much in the same way the SSH public/private key pairs are related.
I do have a question and a recommendation: Q: Ok, the old server died, but was the hard-drive utterly non-functional? What prevents you from putting the HD into a functional Linux box, mounting it, and reading the old .key? R: I use OpenSSL to manage the CSRs and the keys for our production servers - on my UNIX workstation. (Yep, I back things up onto out DLT tape setups from that workstation). Floppies go bad too often.
