11.2. Extending Storage using Disk Management
The Disk Management snap-in provides management of hard disks, volumes
or partitions. It can be used to extend a dynamic volume only.
Notes
Disk Management cannot be used to extend basic disk partitions.
Guidelines for extending a dynamic volume:
•
Use the Disk Management utility.
•
You can extend a volume only if it does not have a file system or if it
is formatted NTFS.
•
You cannot extend volumes formatted using FAT or FAT32.
•
You cannot extend striped volumes, mirrored volumes, or RAID 5
volumes.
For more information, see the Disk Management online help.
