Can't reconnect a Hardware RAID5 Array

Windows2003 server with mirrored OS disks had a SCSI (Compaq) Hardware
RAID connected to it. Using Compaq Smart-3200 controller.
The Mirrored drives died and I couldn't resurect them (they were a
software mirror)

I removed the 3200 Controller from the Server.
I added (in a different slot) an additional controller and created a
hardware RAID 5 for the new operating system.

After installing Server2003 and applying all the patches, Service
packs and Compaq System Management Software, I downed the server and
put the 3200 controller back in the same slot it was before the
mirrored drive crash.

The Compaq system Management sees the array and correctly relates the
number of drives and size etc but the array does not appear in "My
Computer"

In computer management/Storage/Disk Management the array shows up as
DISK 0 Dynamic Foreign
I have not tried to import the foreign disk yet. I am afraid that I
might loose the array and I can't afford to loose this information.

The event viewer shows
LDM Error ID 2
Internal Error - The disk group contains no valid configuration copies
(C10000B6)

also
ID 2
Unspecified error (800004005)

How can I restore the Array's configuration so that the OS will see
it?

This information is extremely important any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Richard Favara
