Brain fart! Is there a way to extend Disk 6 into Disk 2 and Disk 3? I don't know why i'm having a brain fart about it.

I'm used to expanding within the same disk.

Hi

 If Disk2 and Disk3 is GPT you can able to expand,just right click on disk2&3 select extend volme,but your screen shoot disc6 unknown;

for this check this detailed article;

I haven't initialized the disk yet, that's why it's showing unknown. I have to wait until after hours in order to do anything here. Once I initialize it, what would the next step be?

In Dsk Manager,right click the basic volme you want to extend.(disk2,disk3)

- Select Extend Volume..

- Follow the instructions on your screen.

If it's that easy, i'm going to flip!

I thought you could only do that with Dynamic Disks.

yes that's all,also your disks are basic.

Sweet!

Once I initialize Disk 6 right?

This is Server 2003 also.

Ooops,you couldn't extend disk on server 2003(via disk management),sorry you could use 3.rd party software.

Dang Server 2003!!

So...Could I still use diskpart?

There is no way,you need to use  a 3.rd party sofware.

Thanks all!

Hi,

I think "Extend" is actually convert disks into Dynamic. And I think Windows Server 2003 supports Dynamic already.
