Hi,
Thanks for your posting!
>From your description, I understand that you would like to Extend a volume
spanning across several disks. If I'm off base, please let me know.
You can achieve the goal by the Disk Management in SBS server. However, you
should change the Basic Disk to a Dynamic Disk. Then, you will can perform
the extending as the steps in the following KB:
HOW TO: Use Disk Management to Manage Basic and Dynamic Disks in Windows
server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;323442
NOTE:
1. You can only extend NTFS volumes or volumes that do not yet contain a
file system.
2. If you upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003 (or to Windows
XP Professional), you cannot extend a simple or spanned volume that you
originally created as a basic volume and then changed to a dynamic volume
in Windows 2000.
3. You cannot extend the system or boot volume.
