Exclamation Unable to mount media

I am having an issue where my RAID isn't being mounted on boot. I get an error that comes up saying Unable to mount media: there is probably no media in the drive. Any insight on how to fix this?


EDIT:
Here is what I get when I do a fdisk -l

[root@repositorybackup ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 37.0 GB, 37018484224 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4500 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 4500 36041827+ 8e Linux LVM

Disk /dev/sdb: 4998.2 GB, 4998257704960 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 607670 cylinders

/sdb is what I am trying to open and get the error

not that I know, but
OS? Fedora, 6,7,8.9.10PR, 386, 64 bit?
RAID controller?
maybe MB specs?
