Now i have no hard drives to replace em with, and ive been havin ISSUES with the Back up server not wantin to read the tapes, so essentially i am fucked, weve calculated we will have lost 3 million in profits today , and prolly another 5 tommorow.

Just having a RAID is not redundancy. Your company's IT policy is to blame if you don't have a backup database that can go online.
If it makes you feel any better I work for a cheap-ass company too.

if one of those customer people bother you and say they have a computer disc, and they have pc, tell them were apple. if they got apple, tell them were pc, if they got both: tell them we use linux. and if they got that: say the computers are down, they should be anyway.

Ouch man. Ouch. Another reason for RAID 5 or a SAN. What kind of drives? Everything SCSI has been good to me. SATA drives crap out big time. Go hit up MicroCenter in a hurry. If you want to pay my company $125/hour for consulting I can come out there and help. Good luck.
