I can't give you specific details about how to salvage your data, but I can say that it appears that you need to replace Drive 1. You need to refer to the owner's manual for the RAID controller (if it's part of the motherboard, read the motherboard manual) to determine which drive is Drive 1. Some systems call them drives 1 and 2. Some systems call them drives 0 and 1. You MUST read the documentation.

Usually, you must go into the RAID configuration and "break the mirror". You then physically replace the drive. Lastly, you assign the new drive to the RAID 1 array and rebuild the mirror from the older drive. The rebuilding usually takes place automatically after you assign the drive to the array.

The more conventional way to recover from a disaster is to have two drives, use one for your data and the other for storing backup images. This is a much more effective backup plan because you can recover from virus or data corruption if you schedule regular backups. RAID 1 can only save you in the case of hardware failure. It cannot restore a working version of Windows in the case of an operating system problem.
