Recovery Process Post OS Install

I have a machine with 3 drives in perfect working order:

2x 160GB's in RAID-0: The RAIDed drives are where I store my VM's, development data etc.
1x 500GB: The 500GB drive is for the OS & applications.

I inadvertently installed Server 2008 R2 onto the RAIDed drives instead of the 500GB.

What's the best process for trying to recover the data on the RAIDed drives:

Just try to recover the data in its current state?
Recover & restore the partitions then recover the data?
