Is it possible to extend a partition ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

We are running Windows 2003 on SAN. We have allocated some more space to
that server.

We have attempted to use diskpart.exe to extend the primary partition but it
is not successful. Someone says that it is due to the partitions are
primary partition while someone says that the disk is "Basic Disk" and not
"Dynamic Disk".

I would like to know is there any tools we can extend the partition to use
the additional unallocated space.

Thanks
