Recovering, or attempting to recover a RAID 0 system is for the pro's.  It isn't 
easy, may take special software "IF" it can be recovered depending on the issue(s) 
involved.  Your data is "striped" between the drives, meaning that your files are 
divided between the two drives.  RAID 0 alternates between the two drives when writing. 
 That's why recovery is impossible to all but the experienced with the tools to do 
it with, only IF the drives can be read and depending on what caused the failures.. 
 If one or both of the drives are corrupted, the chances may be next to impossible 
to rebuild you data.  The software I use, isn't available to the public and is very 
expensive as is the time to do it, again with no guarantees.  I know of no decently 
reliable software available cheaply that can handle all RAID recovery situations.

I suggest that you Google with "recovering RAID 0 data" as the subject and you will 
find a lot of info and some recovery tools, but it's a crap shoot at best and expensive 
for the better tools.  Even then, there is a steep learning curve.

You will find links like this from Google:

This forum isn't the best for this type of issue unfortunately and can't point to 
a good one right off hand.  I would have to get my hands on the drives and test them 
myself to be able to really help, because depending on what happened, the advice 
could change and I don't want to be responsible for doing more damage.  :-(   Good 
Luck!!
