RAID problem - corrupted JPEG files

I have 2 identical hard drives attached to an Adaptec 1200A raid controller as a raid1 (mirrored) array. Yesterday it decided that it needed to resync the disks, and after a few hours processing declared itself happy.

However now I cannot open any of the files - they are generally JPEGs from a digital camera, and come up with various error messages depending on the application used to try and open them, suggesting that they have becom corrupted.

A google search has not turned up anything, and I am awaiting a response from Adaptec Technical Support - but wondered if anyone on this forum had any insight. I think that the information is still there, but am not sure if it needs to be repaired at the Raid level, or at the JPEG file level - and I am wary of making a recoverable situation unrecoverable.

Thanks in advance.
