Your options are:
- Revive the drive. Depending on how it died, this may or may not be
possible. You provide no details of the type of failure, so I can't
be any more specific.
- Restore from your backups.
- Get a new drive, put a base Debian system on it, update packages
from your current package list, and add your other disks to this
system. It helps greatly to have /usr and /usr/local seperated in
this instance. This is my own partitioning recommendation:

Note that the configuration required should be relatively minimal.
Peace.
