dude - you just got a complete analysis of the problem, links to the
solution to your problem, by one of the best people on this message
base. 

Regardless of the fact that you think you have hardware raid - to ANY
Linux, it is not hardware raid because if it were true hardware raid, it
would only appear as a single system device. Windows plays along with
the notion that what you have is hardware raid but it's only a wolf in
sheep's clothing.

If you were to search the archives, you will find this topic repeatedly
on the various versions of redhat archives but the answer doesn't
change.
