And more, since you mentioned mdadm and dmraid: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-888520-start-0.html It sounds like you need to pick one, and the one to pick is mdraid, and expressly disable dmraid. I personally would consider that you go into BIOS and blow away this RAID. Recreate it from scratch, and partition with gdisk from a LiveCD (e.g. gdisk is on the Fedora 17 livecd). Then install Windows. Then go back to the LiveCD and confirm that the GPT is still OK. Then install linux.
