I would agree with the two problem analysis. It sounds like windows
recovered just fine when you had the drive failure -- It did work for quite
some time after the failure. Also, as was mentioned, some RAID controllers
don't do sufficient checking and corruption on one disk can lead to
corruption of the entire volume. It is possible that the problem that lead
to the drive failure was part and parcel of the issue that you are dealing
with now.

I know that's not a lot of help, but I would suggest that you look to your
last backups for the files and do full checks on the remaining volume to
repair any errors that are there and block off corrupted sectors.
