Hi,
It sounds like there may be a system conflict or a hard disk that may have failed. In order to troubleshoot this configuration I would do the following.
1. Remove all cards except the video card and HighPoint card.
2. Remove all USB and FireWire devices except the keyboard and mouse.
3. Install a fresh copy of Mac OS X on a spare HD using the Apple DVD.
4. Set the new HD as the boot drive in System Preferences: Startup Disk.
5. Install the HighPoint 1.10 driver found here on the new boot drive:

6. If the HighPointRAID manager was used to configure the RAID set it up. Navigate to https://localhost:7402/ using a web browser. Reset the password and turn off the alarm and verify that 'Enable auto rebuild' is on.
7. Now attach one of the enclosures and see if the RAID shows up in the the HighPoint web manager at https://localhost:7402/
8. If this fixes it you will know the issue is system related. If not, you may have a bad hard disk. You can determine that by which hard drive has an inactive LED.
Good luck!
