Is this an external RAID array, or simply a 120 gig drive in an external housing? If an actual RAID...then with most of them, you are probably thoroughly screwed, particularly if data striping was used. If just a single drive, then by all means attach it to one of the IDE cables on your system, then go into the hardware resources and specify the device as a removable drive (at least if this is a windows system). Doing this will cause Windows to ignore all the bootsector info, and treat it like one big floppy disk. So long as the FAT table isn't hosed, you should be able to recover at least some files.
