At least before I have a chance to back them up to the 2x brand new HDD's...
I just had a HD crash. It was a SATA drive and I got an external case for it which converts it to a USB drive. I was able to access the drive and recover my data files. Apparently, only the boot sector was fried.
If that's the case, it's most likely just fine and only needs the boot loader refreshed.
