Volumes larger than 2.0TB in Vista 64

Greeting forum members. I am a "newbie" to the forum and would like to ask a question:
I am running Vista 64 and have a 2.7TB RAID5 on an Adaptec 5805 daughter card. Windows Disk Manager sees it as Disk 1, Basic, 2790.00GB in total but the disk is further broken down into a 2048GB NTFS partition (D:, NTFS, Healthy (Primary Partition) which I created), and a 742GB unallocated partition which I cannot do anything with.
I understand that a 64-bit OS should be able to see upward of 256TB. Can someone assist me by pointing out what I am doing wrong in able to combine the two partitions into a single, larger partition? Thanks in advance!!

Up to 512TB array sizes on the controller. Not bad.
