Help! Logical drive disappeared

I have a PowerEdge 4600 with PERC 3/DC, 8 x 73GB SCSI hard disks arranged as a RAID5 array with 1 hot spare. This morning the alarm sounded and I noticed that there was a 'mismatch' between the NVRAM and HD configurations. Using WebBIOS, I could see that the NVRAM was showing 3 failed hard disks (including the hot spare), whereas the disk configuration showed them all OK. Foolishly, as it turns out, I figured that there is no way I would have had 3 simultaneous hard disk failures for no reason, and therefore I restored the configuration from disk. Unfortunately it looks like a bad call, because now I cannot boot the server, as no logical drive is being found. I'm sure the disks are OK, but how can I get my array back and read the disks again without losing the lot? I'm rather desperate and very afraid (and, you can probably tell, quite new to all this) ... please help! Thanks
