I then made a system image using the windows back up
center to an external
HDD.
Sounds like a bug in the Windows Backup Center.
Try Symantec's GHOST: if the size of C: from your RAID 0
is less than the formatted size of a non-RAID HDD,
GHOST should have no problem restoring one of its
drive images to your non-RAID HDD with 931 GB formatted.
Alternatively, try downloading and installing PartitionWizard:
http://www.partitionwizard.com/
Shrink your C: to something in the neighborhood of 50 GB
so that it will be "short-stroked".
Then do a drive image with GHOST to your external HDD.
You know the rest.
p.s. As a precaution, you might also launch the Intel Option ROM
to initialize both HDDs as non-RAID (JBOD) before
restoring the
drive image of C: to either one. Intel strongly recommends
initializing all HDDs on the ICHxR controller, so
they are "RAID Ready".
"RAID mode"
in the BIOS is a superset of AHCI.
