appleraid 2.0 woes

I recently had a disk fail in my mirrored array, when I looked at it in diskutil i removed it from the array and then was stuck with a degraded raid array with only one disk. I don’t have access to another disk to replace the old one right now so i wanted to take the working disk out of the array to remove the unneeded complication of RAID and just use the disk till I get back to the U.S. and can rebuild the array. in diskutil there was an option to “demote” the slice, which I thought would remove the disk from the array and allow me to use it as a normal disk… however i was dead wrong and can’t actually figure out what “demote” does or how to even mount the disk now that it has been demoted. Although I’m sure I’ll be able to get the data from the disk somehow when I get back to the states it would be nice to be able to work in the next two weeks before I get back to the states. any help on getting the disk mounted would be great, from there i can probably use diskwarrior to get the info.

thanks in advance!
