Guest newsqlman Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 Hello all. I'm trying to add space to a server that someone else setup and had a few questions. It's a Dell PowerEdge that has a Raid5 configuration. I just added a new drive and with the Openmanage Server Administration Reconfigured the virtual Disk and now windows is seeing the unallocated space. There is a Storage partition that I need to add space to and not sure the best way. I'm hoping to use the Disk Management within Windows 2003 to add to that partition by extending but not seeing where to do this. When I right click on the partition I thought it was supposed to give me the option to Extend but it doesn't. It's basic options are change drive letter, format, Delete Logical Drive or something else. How do I go about Extending this so it has more space? Thanks.

Hello, if you have free space just after the partition you want to extend, you can use diskpart: How to use Diskpart.exe to extend a data volume in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, and in Windows 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325590/en-us -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "newsqlman" <ndittoo@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1189777647.146127.326290@w3g2000hsg.googlegroups.com... > Hello all.
