This might help but probably not much: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
Windows raid is not very well supported by linux so unless you want to get into a technical soup I'd advise you to avoid mixing the two. Linux could seriously mess up up your raid if you do something wrong so back anything critical up first.
