rebuilding a raid 1 array

Hi all,
I need some advise in regards to the best way of rebuilding a raid 1
array.
I have a computer located in a different state, and manage it
remotely.
One of the hard drives failed, and I shipped over a new drive over
(same as the ones in the server) for someone to replace the old,
failed hard drive.
When this was done the server failed to start up.
I'm not sure what the message it gave was (as I was not near the
machine and could not afford another re-boot at the time), and the
person replacing the hard drives simply put on the previous drive (The
one that was failing), and started the server up again.
Upon startup, the server gives the error "Please back up your data,
hard disk failure is imminent."
Pressing F1 would start the machine up.
What would be the best way of putting a new hard drive on the server
without having to get other people to work on it?
Will I be able to build a hard drive here, ship it over and get them
to replace it?
The server is running Ubuntu 7.10 (from memory) and hosting a VM
running Windows 2003.
If you have any ideas or suggestions they'd be very much appreciated..
Thank you kindly,
I.
