Hi Jeff,
as long as your array is still intact R Studio should be able to see
and recovery some of the files on the damaged array. A demo version to
prove the concept can be downloaded from www.hddrecovery.com.au I
have used this product on several raid installations with considerable
success, so get in touch with me through the website if you need any
further help.
