Expanding a RAID array in Win2k

[reicherb]

I added another disk to my RAID5 array Now I see 2 disks in Computer Management. How do I added the new disk to the original partitions? Do I have to buy Partition Magic or Volume Manager? Isn't there a cheaper way? NetWare has utilities built in.

Thanks.

AFAIK, the ability to add on a drive to RAID 5 is limited by what controller you have, not the OS. Some of the higher end cards have this ability.

It's a Compaq Smart Array 5i. The same card as in my NetWare boxes. The array has been expanded just fine. The OS just sees it as 2 drives.
