I recently upgraded a Windows 2000 SP2 server of mine to
SP3 to accomidate to new physical drives I added and
successfully extended the array on the controller side.
However, when in Disk Manager, I can see the space, but
cannot do anything with it. The only available option is
help. I wish to extended the current logical drive to
utilize this space as I only have 2GB available. I am
adding this to F (internal storage) and I have G defined
as that is a seperate external storage unit. The drives
are functioning, it's just windows that doesn't see them.

Help!

Jennifer,
Have you been able to successfully extend the drive?
If you have not, is the drive dynamic or basic?
Also, does the new free space show in disk manager on the same line as
drive F, or does it show as a new drive?
