[linux-lvm] recovering data from hdd

[Gerry Reno <greno verizon net>]

I have a machine that suffered a lightning hit and it's toast.  Even 
with surge protectors it still got zapped.  Anyway, I'm not going to 
rebuild this machine.  What I want to do is to get some information off 
the hard drive.  If I remember it only had one VG VolGroup00.  So can I 
attach this to another machine and read it?  Won't the VolGroup00 
conflict with the hosts VolGroup00?  How can I change it to be some 
other name?

Regards,
Gerry
