Well, it did not, sorry to say...

I did not originally build it, so I don't know. I did specify Raid1
though. I guess that did not happen.

It told me to specify the file system type...
Anyway, thanks for the help. I downloaded a utility that was able to
read the disk and with that I am able to recover a good part of what was
lost. :)
I owe you a pint for your troubles.
Cheers!
