The bane of "on-board RAID". Make sure the on-board RAID solution is not of the "fakeraid" variety. The "fakeraid" only exists for dual boot compatibility with "other" operating systems. When a "fakeraid" device goes into a failure mode (degraded RAID set), it stops. You need to boot windows to rebuild the RAID set. The "fakeraid" is a BIOS boot supported software RAID.
