Typically this is a disk issue. Have you checked the logs to see if they have listed any problems with the boot?
First make sure you have a current and complete backup of your data (you should anyway).
Second test the drive using the vendors tools with the disk attached to an SATA port on the motherboard. You can use an eSATA port on a laptop with a power adapter if you have to.
If the drive tests good, you can use Windows Drive Management to remove all partitions (do not format) and then hot add (while the unit is up) the drive back to the array and see if it will accept it.
Let us know how it goes.
