OK...Sorry for the delay in the response. Here's the issue

In Disk Management, he RAID-5 partition (D: Drive) is set to 'Active' and
it's not allowing me to set the System Partition (C: Drive) to Active. If I
use the DISKPART utility to set the C: Drive to Active, will it not allow me
to boot? If not, what can I do to make sure it boots from the C: Drive?
The partition size on C: is 250 GB and D: is 750 GB.

Partition sizes are irrelevant.

As long as these are on separate physical (logical) drives, and they're
all MBR disks (not GPT), each "drive" should be able to have one active
partition (whether it's the bootstrap drive or not).

I just used Disk Management on my Windows 7 box to mark the partitions
on all 3 of its hard drives as Active.
