Thanks for the sympathy :) I definitely did not use any hardware RAID
controllers on the original MOBO - I knew it would be replaced sooner or
later, so I was sure to use software RAID. I used mdadm to create the
RAID, like so: "mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=1
--raid-devices=2 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1".
Sadly I don't have any info such as lsdev from the previous set up :(
I know that files are still intact on the drive showing a partition
still extant, as I ran foremost on it to see if there was indeed
anything still on it.
