[Avid-L2] OT: good data recovery software for software RAID (stripe) on Windows 7?

I pretty much know I am screwed but...
Has anyone used any data recovery software capable of rebuilding a software RAID set on windows?
I'm looking at "r-studio".

I have a stripe set on windows 7 built from 2 disks (windows OS stripe), and something has gone haywire and one of the disks shows up as a failed dynamic disk, while the other shows up as a foreign disk. If I try to import the single foreign disk it warns that the otherdisk in the set is missing and data will be lost if I continue... So I don't want to.

I've tried mounting the drives on another windows machine, and the machine doesn't boot while the disks are both attached... not good.

Sending it out for pro data recovery would probably be prohibitively difficult and expensice (it's a big rackmount 12-drive array).
I can live without the data but don't want to.

Thanks in advance!

best-
