I am sure it is a raid driver issue. Have you considered running one of the OSes (linux or windows) in a VM. That way, you can share files and have both available at the same time, unlike dual boot, where you need to reboot to get the other OS. In that scenario you do not need to use fraid as one OS can be a virtual file system inside the other. CentOS does not do the "latest and greatest" drivers very well ... though they may bring bugfixes back from newer kernels, I would not count on that happening.
