I need to recover data from failed drive RAID 1 Array Setup

I have a 2TB NAS 400r that was setup in a Raid1 Array. We had a power outage this weekend. When I tried to verify the Array using Ctrl+A at startup it the 2nd drive failed verification. I also tried to Rebuild the array Ctrl+R and it failed with a "media error". How can I recover this data? Do I need to pull a drive and hook it up to a computer? Thank you,

I am in a bit of a time crunch to retrieve the data because we access this information on a daily basis for graphic design/print customers. . The raid 1 array had the operating system on it, when I tried to rebuild it using the array management feature, I am receiving a media error very early and it aborts with a message telling me it will not be optimal. From what I hear this is equal to a double disk error. Is there a way that I can boot the system up and retrieve the data? Can I pull out a swappable hard drive and plug it into a computer? Or can I hook the NAS up to a client computer and retrieve the information. I am a little desperate here. Thank you,

Can you give me more detail on how to hook it up to a client computer. I booted the system up , used a red patch ethernet to connect the computers, but I couldn't see it on my pc (XP Pro). If I go the ubcd route, is it easy to copy data out or would you have any details there? Thank you for your quick response!
