I have had great luck recovering RAID devices doing it myself using RAID Reconstructor from runtime.org The software copies the data from each disk to a single disk image putting all the pieces in the right order.

But you have lost 2 (or more) disks in your RAID5?
Only in this way you have a broken RAID.
