SSD RAID O Failure

Hey guys, I've got an issue that I sadly lack the knowledge to fix on my own. I built first (and only) computer over the summer, and everything worked when I booted it some minor miss steps with the graphics card. Sent it over to a family friend who works IT, and he fixed the issues and even set me up with a 4*128Gb array to go along with my terabyte HDD and (a bit to my dismay) put a copy of windows 8 onto my computer, replacing my Windows 7. This is where my lack of knowledge begins. Because I didn't set them up, my knowledge on these SSD's is limited. Right now, I am starring at the UEFI BIOS Utility Screen for a Asus Z87gryphon motherboard, and being told that my first hot plug is empty, even though it's 1) not and 2) the only one of the 4 ssd's absent from the array. The computer froze during a Steam download, and I could force quit it, so I had to manually shut down the computer. Tried to turn it on and told me that I had a RAID0 Failure before sending me to the BIOS screen. I have no idea what to do, I've already checked if the SATA cables are plugged in and they are.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Ryan

P.S if it means anything at all, a blue "Start Windows" screen kept popping up telling me I need to reinstall a new copy of windows 8, but it never inforced it so I didn't worry. Thats bean happening since February or early March

I only know a bit about them, but he told me they were meant to be used as sever hard drives. I will send a picture of the screen I'm getting. For all I know I could be getting the errors mixed up

With the power off, remove and reinsert all 4 ssd's. Then power on and see if they are all detected.

But what is said is true, the system has to see all the drives in a raid0 to work at all. All the other forms of raid allow for at least 1 drive to fail; just not raid0.

So if the drive is still not detected, all the data on the array is lost.
