So, to use this os combination, you need an ataraid driver for 
windows compatibility. I don't know if there is a driver, but you 
may ask google. The stable gentoo-sources support the highpoint and 
promise raid feature only.

IIRC, there is the possibility to have direct software RAID in at 
least one win version, so you can habe different RAIDS on different 
partitions.

these documents are not especially for gentoo, you can find them 
with google (keywords: ataraid howto)
