Thanks, I have used that article before, but the thing was, that I did not delete the second partition, so even if there was free space left at the end of a disk it could not be used. After deleting the partition before it worked fine.

Hi,
As this thread quiet for a while, I wonder if you have solved your problem. Assuming you have fixed, in case of who have the same problem. I think there are better solutions with step by step tutorial. I hope they will be helpful.
Solution1: Disk Management
The Disk Management in Windows 2008 can only extend volume into contiguous unallocated space. You can not extend partition unless deleting the next partition.

Solution2: Reliable Partition Software
As Disk Management alternative, some
Partition Manager Server software is another good choice.
