Recently my software RAID0 array had a SMART error and so I had to get 2 new drives to create another RAID0 to re-install CentOS 6.
The 2 previous drives were saved; and re-inserted. But I don't know how to re-mount it so that I can grab the data within the drives.
I see the drives within 'fdisk -l', and have determined the following drives to be the old drives. (sda and sdd, are the new ones; but not pasted here)
Disk /dev/sdc: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0005159c
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 60802 488385536 fd Linux raid autodetect
Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes

/dev/sdb1 * 1 26 204800 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdb2 26 4106 32768000 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdb3 4106 5380 10240000 83 Linux
/dev/sdb4 5380 60802 445172736 5 Extended
/dev/sdb5 5380 60802 445171712 fd Linux raid autodetect
Can anyone guide me on this? It would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance!

I've not used raid0 before, but assuming this was created using mdadm (ie software raid), you can probably do something like
This will make the raid available and you can then mount it/recover from the disk.
(Obviously replace mdX and disk1 and disk2 with appropriate resource names)
