No raid knowledge I'm afraid, can only just afford one disk let alone more than one.

Do any of the following help?  (a quick googlrusal on 'raidsetfaulty')

They only seem to cope with the normal run of affairs though.  Have you tried googling for 
the log message that you get when you put the disk back in the array?

Hope you get it sorted, are you 'klug'ing it tonight?
