Have you considered saving the Disk key from the registry, deleting it, then starting Disk Admin again? This should rebuild your disk key and may help you out. Microsoft suggested this on a recent problem I had with a file server.

This scenario is exactly why you should NEVER use Software RAID. FYI, when interviewing candidates at a past job, one said something like, "Software RAID is slick", the interview was basically over at that point. If this person said, 'Software RAID is horrible, but it was the best I could do' and say why, he would have been in the running. While it might be the most economical solution, and smaller shops are all over that, I generally feel it to cause more heartburn than the money it saves. I know that it doesn't address your question, and I admit that I don't know the answer, but it's a learning experience. Good luck getting the data back from tape.
