RAID5 Problem

Hello, I am running vista 64 home premium sp1, with the following

ASUS P5Q Pro
4GB memory
intel core2duo e8400

My problem is this

I am running a 300GB drive as my system drive and have a RAID5 array comprised of 5 seagate 1.5tb drives. I recently needed to remove the drives in order to replace a faulty case fan. After re-installing the drives, making sure they went back in the same way they came out, I start up the computer and find that two of the drives, while still connected to and recognized on the same port, have changed their status from "member disk" to "Non-RAID Disk". I am using the intel matrix storage manager, and my mobo has ICH9R. Any help on how to get the two wayward disks back to raid status and back in the array would be most appreciated. I would really like to avoid have to re-build the array, the information on it is not crucial, but would be really inconvenient to lose.

Thanks for the help

Josh
