Hi,

I have a SAN attached disk on which I tried to expand a disk with diskpart.
Computer Management reports the disk size as being expanded but Windows 2000
the OS doesn't see the new drive size.

I have done the same on Windows 2003 without any problem.

I think there's an issue with diskpart and basic disk, but I was wondering
if anyone had the same issue.

Thanks

I have the exact same problem except the OS versions are reversed. I have
always had much luck using diskpart with 2000 server basic disks. I have
done (2) 2003 server basic disks and they both have not completed
correctly. Diskpart runs and hangs, I close it, Disk Management show the
new extended dpace, but explorer doesn't.

My issue is resolved. It turns out that I was not using the right version of
Diskpart.exe. Downloaded the 2000 version and it resolve my issue.

Thanks

Pierre
