Help me get my RAID back

Somehow I had a corrupted file on my C:/ that required me to format and reinstall windows. I did not have much data of importance on my c:/ however I did have a lot of data on my F:/ which is as RAID 0 array of 2 400GB drives, now that I have XP reinstalled how do I get my RAID array (and my data on it) back?
 
Maybe I should be a little more specific. I can see the array in the BIOS like nothing ever happened (the BIOS shouldn't know that I reinstalled windows). The VIA RAID program however fails to see the array.

Main question:Is there any reason that my reinstall shouldn't be able to see the data on the array once I figure it out?
 
Have you installed your RAID controller's drivers into Windows? Is the RAID controller showing in Device Manager in Windows?
 
Funny you should ask, I just figured that out. Boy has joining the military sapped my computer skills.

Okay, it works, no data loss, hurray.

However I'm going to have to reformat one more time because after the BIOS post I'm getting a progress bar that takes like 5 minutes to finish each time I restart.

Thank God that my data isn't lost (also I have Mozy just in case).
 
Unfortunately I'm having problems installing Windows, I'm pretty sure that it is a HDD failure of some sort. I'm doing my second full format (takes about 2:30 each time). Man this sucks.
