Mounting NTFS RAID 1
so im a linux n00b but i can get around ok lol. i currently have a primary hdd with win7 and fc12 both 64bit being booted with grub. i also have 4 other hdds that are raid 1 (2 and 2) through the mother board, ive looked around and figured out how to mount a regular ntfs drive in fedora but cannot find anything about mounting the raid. does anyone know how to go about this? thank you!

I've never had the need to mount an NTFS raid on Linux. I use single drive NTFS volumes all the time. If you cannot figure out how to do that, then you may need to run a Windows VM to mount the volume and then access the data from Linux via a CIFS link to Windows. That should work if the VM allows you to access raw hardware like that. I know that you can pass control of drive hardware like that to the VM with VirtualBox, although again I have to admit that I've never done that with a RAID volume.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
