That's not correct. |

I have a 4 disks software raid (1 and 5 + LVM) setup. The motherboard |
| 11 |
has an integrated Promise controller that "thinks" the two disks |
| 12 |
attached are a single logical RAID0 disk. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If I ever had a windoze on those disks it would run as if it was on a |
| 15 |
single striped disc, according to controller BIOS. |

While I was building this computer I also tested the software array |
| 18 |
phisically removing one of the striped discs, despite the dreadful |
| 19 |
error messages (the computer refuses to boot without an human |
| 20 |
intervention) at boot Linux booted flawlessly, just marking the array |
| 21 |
as corrupted. |

As I said before, to help OP we need more details about his setup. |

Side note: I use LILO. MB: Asus A8V-deluxe, no GRUB nor Nvidia here, so |
| 26 |
YMMV!. |
