Dual Boot & Software Raid

Quick question - if a raid array is set up in windows using software raid and the machine gets dual-boot'd into a secondary operating system (say, Linux), the raid array will not be usable right? Will it be destroyed in this process?
 
As long as you don't install the 2nd OS on the same disks as the RAID there isn't a problem. Linux needs some tinkering to read a Windows RAID volume though.

That seems like it's from 2008, so I can't speak for later versions of Windows.

The only way to destroy the RAID is to destroy the data on the drives. So if you don't do that then you won't loose any data.
