Sure. It looks like that's what I'm going to have to do. But it would sure
be nice and far less time consuming if I could just expand the available
space to the new disk in the RAID management software then use diskpart to
expand the volume without having to down the server at all. I just wasn't
sure if this is typical for the less expensive HostRAID controllers in
general.

More of a question than an answer but couldn't you take an image of
the drive then copy the image back.  Wouldn't that then let you use
the whole 500 gb?
