RAID 0 total volume not accurate.

[jeremysegars]

I migrated my machine to RAID 0 using the intel utilities that came
with my machine. 5 hours later the migration has completed, my machine
boots a little quicker, intel storage manager tells me they are in RAID
0, but windows explorer still says that I have 379 GB total. On first
boot after the migration pnp found the RAID array "Ben Hope" (the one I
made) but my primary disk which is now on it is still labeled
"primary." As I am writing this I'm realizing that in the migration it
likely striped 372 GB of the primary partition and left the rest of the
disks unchanged.

What drives are installed, on what controllers???? Please give more
info!!

I figured it out, through the migration the partition retained the
original partition size so I just used partition magic to expand it.

2x "wd4000" 400 GB SATA
1x "wd400" 40 GB SATA scratch disk
ICH6R controllers on D915pbl
P4 3.0 GHz
4GB Samsung DDR-2 533
