That's difficult indeed. Grub will be installed in the MBR of the first 
disk and as far as I know will need its files to be on the same disk - 
in a FAT32, ext2/3/4, xfs, jfs, ... (not NTFS) partition.

Having Arch on the first BIOS disk including grub is probably easier, 
but you have to do some magic device-swapping in Windows' grub entry, 
which will otherwise refuse to start. I don't exactly remember the details.
