Had 2x1TB 7K1000 RAID1, ran out of room. Bought Seagate 1.5TB. What I want to do:

2x 7K1000, 1TB out of 1500 in RAID5 (through Intel RAID migration).
Extra 500GB (okay, 430-whatever) out of 1500 in completely separate, RAID-less "volume."

The problem is that when I use Intel's Storage Manager to migrate the RAID, it seems to earmark the entire 1.5TB as part of the new array, and I can't do anything to reclaim those last 500GB. Can this be done?

Forgot to mention, G33M-DS2R with ICH9R.
