Raid Issue

My father has a Dell XPS 400 and from his phone call the other day it sounds like one of the hard drives failed.  This happened a little over a year ago too but it was still under warranty so Dell replaced it.  I'm trying to help him fix it over the phone but I need more information then hes able to give me on how this works,  I'm guessing Dell set this up as a Raid 1 array but is also using Norton Ghost?

 

Below is the information he sent me.  Do I just need to replace the failed hard drive with another 160 gig hard drive and thats it?  Is there anything special that needs to be done?  How do I determine which drive failed.   (Please feel free to use tech terms and I'm pretty experience fixing computers).

 

Thanks
