Hi
I have a recent Dell XPS with a raid0 setup, and for some reason the disks are now failing when I try to boot the PC. I also hear a soft alarm coming from the disks it seems. During booting, I get the option to enter Setup (F2) or enter boot options (F12), both of which seem to do nothing. It just continues to a screen where it says the disks have failed, and offers me some options via CTRL + i. I have a hi-res pic of that screen here (the option highlighted at the top of the screen says "Recovery Volume Options"):

I am no hardware expert, so I wanted to get some advice before I proceed. Is there anything I can do to fix this? If needed, I can lose the data on the disks, it would not be preferable, but it would also not be the end of the world.
Thanks!
