If mdstat is current, what belongs to what? Your --examine results suggest sda1 and sdb1 go together, but mdstat shows sdc1 running with sdb1 in another array and sda1 all alone. If sda1 is all alone in an array you can't remove it. Your device names are probably changing between boots (not unusual) and it is confusing your report. Please show lsdrv results after you add the proper utilities to the environment you run lsdrv from. At least install lvm utilities and mdadm utilities.
