Extending shared folder onto new drive

I was reading in a Server 2003 manual that you can do this. I have a 9GB drive in my server and added a 36GB. For seamlessness to the end users, I simply want the shared folder, or even partition, to span onto new drive. Thoughts?
 
I think what you want to do is "mount" a volume at a folder. Read this for details. Technically, you would not refer to this as "extending a shared folder..." Mounting and sharing are different things.
 
Thank you. Found that KB article, too, and utilized it. Because the directory I wanted to extend wasn't empty, I had to migrate it to new drive. Since it was the Users directory, it had permission requirements from hell. To move, I used this KB article, xcopy with permissions, then mounted.
