Server 2003 - Extending Disk Volume

[Guest NETCRAMMMER]

I am receiving the following error when trying to extend a dynamic disk.

(see attached error)

 

The error reads: The selected volume was originally created on a basic disk

and cannot be extended.

Only volumes originally created on dynamic disks can be extended.

 

I need to increase the size of 2 (F & G)partitions on this disk. I have 69GB

of unallocated disk space at the end.

I also have (on another disk ) over 130GB of unallocated drive space.

 

How can I rezise these partitions?

 

TIA!

I think you're stuck.

Buy another 500 GByte disk, partition it the way you want it, then

copy the data across. Don't make it a dynamic disk unless you have

a good reason to do so - most partition managers won't touch them!
