This says that windows can be started from the second disc -> first
partition, is this right?

We can check it if you post the output of `cat /etc/fsab' or `fdisk -l'

Ok, here is the fdisk -l output. The only strange thing I see is that
it is detecting one of windows RAID disks as having a linux partition
when it is NTFS. GParted detects it correctly though it says it is not
mounted and it can't read the file system. I suppose that is because it
is a Windows RAID and Linux does not know how to deal with it. Could
this be part of the problem?
