RAID Slice Failed on my 2tb Lacie Little Big Drive

I was working in FCPX 10.8 on my Macbook Air using my 2tb Lacie Little Big Drive with thunderbolt connection when I got an improper disk removal message pop up. I hadn't removed the cable and the power had been on all of the time. From then on I couldn't get my drive to mount. I was working from this drive that is RAID 0. I have also tried the drive on my imac but no joy either.

I have used disk utility to verify and it says that all seems ok. But when you look at one of the RAID Slices it says Failed.

See attachment:

I have also tried Disk Warrior but it only sees the drive in the hardware section and again says that the drive appears to be functioning normally.

Is there any way of fixing this or will I need to re format. I will lose a fairly important project if this is the case.

Many thanks

FYI, I had this exact problem yesterday. I downloaded softRaid and contacted the guys there. They were able to look at the tech support file created by the software, create a fixed partion map, and send it to me. Today drive is fixed and 1.2TB of data saved. They charge a flat fee for the fix, but the software can be run in a demo mode. I'm just posting this in case others have the same problem, and I'm very grateful to SoftRaid for this.

UPDATE: 1 month after reformatting and setting Energy Saver to "never let disks go to sleep" and the LBD is running stable. Thanks for the help.
