RAID won't rebuild

A drive failed in the raid. I replaced it. The docs indicate the controller should pick up on that and use it and rebuild. Ain't doin' it. 

PowerEdge 2900, w/PERC 6/i controller

There are 10 drive slots all in use. 2 to a redundant RAID1 for the OS. The other 8 for a striped and redundant RAID10 for Data. Both have a bad drive. I need to get Data working right first. Since there are no more slots I can't add a hot-swap so the system would pick up on that. And I can't add another drive and then reconfigure the RAID to use it. So I put a new (larger) drive in place of the one it said was bad but it continues to say that drive is "failed". Have rebooted since. The available actions are just "blink", no option to put online or anything like that. The "Import/Recover" fails and says all that can be recovered has been. What can I do to get it to use this disk?

Thanks.

p.s. Windows version? Frankly confused. "System" says , Server2007 Std FE SP2, logon screen says SBS 2008.
