Turned out it was a none issue the underlying OS was Windows 2003 server
and it was what was damaged.  Three and a half hours on site and I could
not get to the virtual drives with anything I had with me, Linux and
a Barts PE with XP.  There was no Recovery Console installed originally and
the powers that be were not interested in a parallel install or even
installing the Recovery Console until a full backup was done.  I can't even
get a straight answer on the license and the box had none on it.  I am
waiting now to get some straight answers before I go back.
