Raid 5

[Guest]

Is it possible to extend a raid 5 volume ?
e.g.: I have a raid 5 volume with 5GB and a unlocated space on my disk. Now I wanna have a 8GB Raid 5 volume on the same drive letter.

thanks.

Yes.
You can extend a volume on a Basic Disk using diskpart.exe as long as the space is contiguous. Diskpart is available in Windows XP and Windows 2003
Server.
You can make the disk dynamic and extend the partion with Disk Manager.
