Checking the connections on the drives and board were the first thing I did. I even replaced the ribbon cables some extras I had lying around but the same thing happens.

I was thinking I would just throw the 80 in there as a temp until I could get some better drives. My first thought was to hook everything up to my machine and use that RAID reconstruction tool I saw mentioned on here but I don't know that that would work to well.

EDIT:

Now i've put the new drive in, it formatted on boot, I set it as a spare but the server still seems to freeze like I mentioned before after checking RAID5. I don't know how long i've let it run like that in the past so I think i'll just leave it alone and see what happens. Is there any possibility it's trying to rebuild the array during this time? Because it gives me no idication it's doing anything. No network access, no web access and the only light on the front panel is the system light that blinks ridiculously fast, a constant link light and a net light that flashes from time to time. If it is rebuilding, about how long will it take?
