Rebuilding My Hard Drives

So here I am again, rebuilding my hard drives. The RAID array failed, I scrambled to save data, it's up and running again, but the drives holding the data, well, they don't seem to want to read now. 

I'm a bit worried about losing about 440GBG of data. Wouldn't you be? Most [Probably about 98%] of that information is backed up on other older stored hard drives or CD/DVD ROMs. But it is a bit unnerving thinking about getting it all back into order again. 

Anyone have any worthwhile suggestions[Aside from not having a computer or going Mac]?

What kind of hardware are you using? You seem to have more RAID problems than anyone I know.... ;-)

Believe me when I say, I've got several friends here who are amazed by my RAID failures.

I'm running
Intel Motherboard Core 2 Duo @ 2.33GHz
4 GB RAM
OS is Server 2008 64bit

RAID control through the Motherboard.

PC speaker that was once mounted under the Hard Drive enclosure is now removed, as a a precaution.
