What does your guest config file look like, in particular the disk line.

Is there any chance that you have accidentally pointed the VM's disks at one or 
more of the physical disks which makes up your RAID array?

Nope, no chance.

Here is the entire config:

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 1024
#memory = 2048

# Should be at least 2KB per MB of domain memory, plus a few MB per vcpu.
shadow_memory = 8
name = "Win7x86_Base"
vfb = [ 'type=vnc,vncdisplay=11,vncpasswd=eva1unit' ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:33:5E:F9, bridge=xenbr0' ]
acpi = 1
apic = 1
disk = [ 'tap:aio://images/xen_images/Win7x86_Base.img,hda,w', 
'tap:aio://images/iso_images/en_windows_7_enterprise_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677710.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'
 ]
#disk = [ 'tap:aio://images/xen_images/Win7x86_base.img,hda,w' ]

device_model = '/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d)
# default: hard disk, cd-rom, floppy
boot="dc"
vncunused=1
sdl=0

serial='pty'
usbdevice='tablet'
vcpus=1
cpus = ['1']
localtime = 1
usb = 1
