Help needed on replacing a failed drive

I am new to linux so forgive me if I misstate something..
I have three drives, two of which make one data volume in Fedora 5.
The main drive still works fine but one of the two other drives died.
I get the following on the boot screen:

Setting up logical volume management: 2 logical volumes in colume
group "VolGroup00" now active

Checking file systems
'sck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'LABEL=/var'

The data on the two drives is not important. I was wondering if I can
replace the drive and have it become part of VolGroup00 without
reinstalling the OS.

Is this possible?

Thank you,
