I am running out of space on my c: drive. I am running
raid 5. I add another disk, can I extend the c: drive
without reconfiguring everything.

The only possibility to do this is during an in-place upgrade, and you have
to have free space directly after c:. This MS Knowledge Base article
describes the process:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=289876

If this solution isn't an option for you, then you will need third party
software (Volume Manager?) or a backup, reinstall and restore.

You will also need to reconfigure your RAID, in order to add the new disk
to your current volume.

Best regards
