Windows 7: Raid 1 drives disabled after Image recovery

I used a disk image I had just created using Win 7 to recover my computer. The drives were setup with an Asus format called Speeding Hdd in an EZ Backup configuration. It is I guess essentially a Raid 1 format as one is mirroring the other. I assigned R for the drive designation so they would not change and after the recovery I am told R:/ is not assesible and I must format the drive. I don't want to do that so I cancelled and then this is the error message I then receive :
"The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted"
I made a " System Recovery Disk " and used that to start the computer to start the recovery so I thought all of the drivers would have been installed when the computer started. I don't know where to turn with this but I have a lot of my life on these two drives so any help would be surely appreciated.
Help !!
