I use ghost....image (pull) the partition...then push the partition back to the device where ghost will ask you the partition size of the destination. You can of course make the partition bigger at this point and you end up with a larger C: volume in the end. The nice thing is that if this process goes south, you have a ghost image of the original as a backup.
Since the raid is done at the HW level, no special considerations need to be taken unless the drive volume in the raid array is completely taken up by the C: drive already. Then you would need to get into your raid manager and blow away the container and recreate it larger before you push the image back to the machine.
