 Adding a new HD to a RAID5 (Server 2003)
Adding Hard Drive, RAID 5, Windows Server 2003, Windows storage
Hello, I need to add a HD to an already existing RAID5. After I add the disk I need to extend my C volume to 25% and add the rest of the space to a D volume that I have created. Does anyone have any steps for these operations that they would care to share to make things easier for me? Thanks in advance.
