win 2008 R2 server simply wont start

Hello Experts,
After a sudden black out this morning our server clearly has power suply but the Os simplt does not start. After showing the page of setup at start up it stays there with white screen only showing the cursosr blinking.... I turned off and on several times... same response.... What is the best procedure in this case?? ... we have very important information there... the server uses three hard disks I believe with some sort of raid so if necesary can I just connect the hard disks to another machine and get my data??
please your help.

If data is "very important".  Turn it off an take the disks to a pro, and be prepared for $5K or more.   If you don't even know what you have there is no way anybody can tell you how to fix the problem.  (No, odds are very much against being able to just mount the disks.  You would also need a non-RAID controller.  runtime.org has a good reconstructor program ..

But you don't know if hardware is in stress and you are degraded.  You won't get correct information other then don't touch anything until you elaborate with specifics.

2) HOw can I identif wha rkind of raid I have?

Realistically, this has nothing to do with the RAID.  If the RAID was offline, then it wouldn't start to boot.  So since you wrote that it does, we're dealing with file system damage or file damage.  So no matter what, you are going to have to either restore from backup, or use the windows recovery CD.

This is not about RAID. My suggestion is to enter to BIOS, check USB and other pnp device.
You may have an option set up for boot up from different devices.
I also recommend to update BIOS.
If you want to find what exactly make the problem just plug devices one by one and do reboots. You will find the cause.
Is a very common issue.
