How is this possible?

During boot, RAID controller flashes all 4 drives and volume are A-OK and volume size is 965-is GB...

Some background: One drive failed the other day and I used the computer degraded for about 5 days. It has finished rebuilding, but then I noticed the size discrepancy. I clicked verify thinking that may help. It did not auto verify. Not sure if it will have any effect.

Im seeing its a 500gb disk, Raid 10. 4 drives, soft hard or firmware?

If it makes a difference xp64 never recognized my firewire array. Despite it being 4TB in size it only shows 1.something

it's a hardware raid on a ICH10R controller

go into disk management. see if you have unallocated space

UGG that was it!

Somehow I have exactly 1/2 my volume allocated. Is there any easy way to convert the current partition to the full volume size without backing everything up and reinstalling windows?

if you mkae it a dynamic volume or whatever, you should be able to extend it.

You can't use disk manager to extent the boot volume, but I was able to get GParted and use that to extend the volume. Everything is great now!

Thanks everyone AntecK7!
