All your RAID controller is doing is making two copies, one of those drives still has good data on it.

I deal with this kind of crap all the time.
Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner here. As long as it's just RAID 1 (Mirror) your're all set, break the array and the data should just be there. This will also allow you to isolate the bad drive (if your're controller didn't do that for you already). Do you have a non-RAID SCSI controller in another machine?
Anyway, what you have run into is really the whole point of the mirror.
Now you didn't you say you had two arrays, your not doing something funky like striping a mirror are you? If that's the case....good luck.
