Raid failure after power d/c, no backup [Intel x58 Raid 0]

Sager NP7282: recently purchased from a man on Ebay, about 2 months ago. It has an Intel x58 motherboard and Intel Rapid Storage Technology RAID interface.

It had upgraded 2 hard disks: 2x vertex3 224GB SSD, which I had put into a RAID-0 for increased speed and performance - and reinstalled the OS. It had just now gotten to a great point -- I was considering doing a full-drive backup and protecting my OS and setup, but I had not yet done so.

Last night,  I had an accident when I removed the power cord from the computer, taking it to another location. As soon as the power cord was removed, there was a BSOD, and the computer restarted. As soon as I turned it back on, I found the RAID offline and both drives listed as "Offline Member."

I booted this up into Hiren's BootCD -> Parted Magic Linux, and I discovered that both drives, when in AHCI mode: were fine and had no damage according to the SMART sensors on the drive. When the drives are booted in AHCI mode instead of raid, they are both powered on and listed, but cannot boot because of their RAID structure.

When they are booted as RAID in the BIOS, they do not power on [so far as I can tell] and do not function.

I removed the back of the laptop to manually inspect each drive, and there did not appear to be any damage to them: and the laptop booted into BIOS and Ctrl-I Intel Rapid Storage RAID SETUP with only 1 drive.

My attempts to fix this in Intel Rapid Storage Technology Raid Setup:

1) Recovery volumes, as listed by the manual. This was a negative: both options 1 and 2 returned the same result, and I did not know what it was that it meant: if maybe I had incorrectly installed the RAID, or if I had not setup a recovery partition yet.

I need assistance immediately! Preferably today or tomorrow - so I can get back to my business and work.

Every time I look at this raid setup and the RAID recovery software: I'm afraid that I'll lose my entire drive and all my DATA. It is imperative that this not happen. Maybe you can recommend free RAID recovery software for me, or you can give me perfect instructions on how to overcome this.

Imperative! TiberLifeGenius
