OK, my question is now "how do I mount it?". I want to mount the mirror of the "/"
partition from inside dev/sda2. Does me a lot of good having a backup when I can't
get inside it!
Thanks!

You can't mount an extended partition, only partitions within the extended
partition. The only thing in there is a swap partition (sda5), so that
won't help you much. Perhaps you meant to mount /dev/sda1, which is an
ext2 partition, although not a RAID partition according to fdisk.
Looking at your mount command, you're also trying to use the much older
"ext" filesystem type. You'll want to use the newer ext2 type.
