Hello,
Do you have unallocated space next to the partition you want to extend ?
Looks like it may not be possible to extend the system partition:

The strange thing is the "may be blocked"

We have a very similar issue. I already tried diskpart, but we have server
2003 std x64 and we get a msge that the vaolume may not be extended. Is there
another wayt to do it? (we have 2 x 73GB drives, with two partitions).

So from diskmgmt.msc, on the disk 1, you have your data partition, and free
space (unallocated) just after ?
Easy to do:
diskpart
list disk
select disk X (should be 1, the disk where data resides)
list volume
select volume X (the data one)
extend
