However there is some data on the drive that I'd like to recover before

see two icons on the desktop for my drives. One for sda the other for
sdb. I can not mount either. I assume this is because Knoppix is
seeing each drive individually instead of the one logical striped drive
it is.
There used to be problems accessing RAID arrays from Knoppix, and LVM
still doesn't work AFAIK. The solution is to use a different live CD. As
you plan to install Gentoo, it seems reasonable to assume you have a
Gentoo CD, so try that. The Recovery Is Possible! live CD also worked
with my RAID setup.
Thanks for the encouragement. I attempted a Windows overlay install
again and this time it seems to have worked! However I'll keep the live
CD in mind for future emergencies. I started with Knoppix because a
previous Gentoo installation I did wouldn't work with the live CD. I
had an Advansys SCSI card in that box which wasn't supported on the live
CD but was supported with Knoppix.
Thanks,
Drew
