Both drives in RAID 1 set failed!?

I had several power outages Saturday and my UPS did not work as expected. Because of that, it seems I've lost two drives from the same RAID 1 set. Hard to believe!!... I've never lost one drive..... and that's why I am writing this post.
I login to the server and attempt a repair. It fails and the server error log gives these errors:
File System : Failed to resynchronize logical set 50000, error -1 Disk 50000
Mirror 2/26/2007 2:32:51 PM
E File System Check : FSCK fatal error = 27 Disk 50008
Mirror 2/26/2007 2:15:11 PM
E File System Check : Partially allocated inode I=5223929 Disk 50008
Mirror 2/26/2007 2:15:11 PM

Current configuration:
- OS Version: 3.4.805
- Hardware: 2.2.1
- Server: 512476
- BIOS: 2.4.437

I've attempted this several times. The other RAID 1 set has a problem too but I can still get access to my data. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have spent most of the day reveiwing the posts here but have been unable to see any similar problems.

As a additional thought... since this may problem may be an opportiunity to upgrade this server I'd like to review the 4100's capabilities for upgrading:
- No disks larger that 120GB
- Current configuration would support larger drives

Some posts imply that it is as easy as installing the larger drives and the OS will discover the drives. Is that correct.

Any helpful comments, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
