My RAID array just... dissappeared

Got the new BIOS chip for my K7D Master-L today. Put it in, along with a new CMOS battery for good measure. The stoopid HighPoint RocketRaid 1540 on it seems to have lost one of my two RAID arrays. I have 4 160GB DiamondMax 9 ATA-133/7200RPM/8MB drives in 2 2-drive RAID 0 arrays on PATA --> SATA adapters. The array with my OS on it works fine, but the other one is just... gone. The controller detects both drives, but not as a RAID array, just as regular disk drives. And, neither drive shows up in windows. I had a good 80-100GB+ of files on there that I kinda REALLY NEED. Any suggestions on how I can get it working again?

    On your next reboot go into your raid utility and have it set your array back up.
    The information on the array will be safe. The reason windows doesn't see the drives now is that they are kind of like brand new drives to windows now...no partition and not formated.

    I gave up. Just re-initialized it, and reformatted.
