So I wondered if I might be able to cheat and combine the two devices (in this case sdc and sdd) into a new device (say sde) so I can retrieve anything important off the drives?I don't know of anything off the shelf which will do this for you. I would probably go and write a network block device server to do this concatenation for you and then mount it up that way. Although it sounds a bit extreme the NBD protocol is really simple. You could probably knockup a server program in whatever language is your poison.
