I have just upgraded my G5 PowerPC from tiger to Leopard 10.4 to 10.5.8, and it was freezing on bootup. So i loaded the OS install disk once more and went into disk utility. From there I repaired permissions and did a disk repair on the main drive labelled Macintosh HD, while the other drives were still mounted. I came back to it working this morning, but I can't see my raid drive anymore, that was made up of 3 drives. It is a striped raid set, and when i go into disk utility within the OS now, and try mount or repair, it comes up with either "unable to mount" or "filesystem verify or repair failed". My other drives are fine.
Why would this have disappeared when i did a repair on a different drive, and is there any way I can recover/remount the data on the drive? It was too large to do a backup before I did the upgrade/repair. You can see it in disk utlity, along with the actual disks and their partitions labelled as "RAID Set" but the combined raid 'set' is unable to be mounted...
Help!
Cheers,

EDIT: I have tried diskwarrior, and when before you rebuild the drive, it offers you a preview. All the data is there and everything looks fine, so I click rebuild. The drive pops up on the desktop when it's finished, but before I have time to open it, the machine has a kernel panic... Don't know what I'm doing so any help appreciated!
