No operating system on system recovery vista

Hello

I recently have managed to gain a corrupt file on my computer this
basically means my computer does not startup.

I have a boot disk available for my system (Windows vista x64
ultimate). However when it comes to trying to select a operating system
in the system recovery options the box is blank and i have no operating
system to select. I have a feeling the fact i have sata raid setup on my
computer is the reason as to why i cannot see my C: drive. I know this
will fix my computer if i can only locate an operating system to
detect.

I have already carried out all the usual suspects of what is wrong like
system restore etc but i cannot find a hard drive to restore.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Do your HD's show in BIOS?

i went into the bios the hard disk drives are not there but that is
expected as its raid. So i went into the raid controller they are locating
both of my drives. I think its worth mentioning in the loading screen i
get a kernel error to be precise its a xc0000221 error file is missing or
corrupt

Delete and recreate the RAID array. it should fix the problem. However,
you will lose all your data.
