The raid code should know if the array is out of sync and will leave the bad drive out of the array. Your array will be in degraded mode, but should boot. Then you can add the other partitions back to the array and they will re-sync. You just have to be careful that you add the proper partitions back to the proper arrays. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
