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.

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

1x "wd400" 40 GB SATA scratch disk
ICH6R controllers on D915pbl
