Disk array broken, grub 21 error no boot


Not sure if I really did it now but I have 2 160g hd and every once in a while I make a mirror array just for backup and then I disconnect it. Well I also have a dual boot setup to linux and WinXP which I really don't use much. After the last array setup and disconnect I reboot and received an error that my array is broken. I am not sure what to do now. When I bootup I get a grub loading error 21 or 22 and then nothing happens after that. Usually at boot I get a menu to boot to whichever OS I want to use. I can access the array menu but all it seems to want to do is erase everything. Any ideas? I might add this is Ubuntu 7.10

I have ran the install cd for Ubuntu and found that I can see my winxp files which are very important to me but do not see any linux files which at this time I can reinstall them if need be. How can I reinstall or uninstall Ubuntu to be able to salvage my Winxp files then reinstall Ubuntu after I know that I am safe. My wife has pictures and stuff and uses XP a lot. I need to live in harmony you know! This Grub 21 error has affected both of my disks ability to boot.
