Q: How to reconstruct RAID mirror w/ lost config file

If a RAID mirror was broken (drives are fine) and system was upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, such that the config file was trashed defining the RAID mirror, what steps allow bringing at least one of these drives back? I understand there's software to allow the system to scan the drive and look for data, any tips on progress are much appreciated, data recovery folks are wanting to charge huge sums for this work, even though my drives are fine.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
