That's not correct.
I have a 4 disks software raid (1 and 5 + LVM) setup. The motherboard
has an integrated Promise controller that "thinks" the two disks
attached are a single logical RAID0 disk.
If I ever had a windoze on those disks it would run as if it was on a
single striped disc, according to controller BIOS.
While I was building this computer I also tested the software array
phisically removing one of the striped discs, despite the dreadful
error messages (the computer refuses to boot without an human
intervention) at boot Linux booted flawlessly, just marking the array
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
YMMV!.
Ciao
Francesco
