First break the mirror.
Then use partitionmagic to make the dos part larger since you wont be able to do this with diskmanager.
Then proceed with installation of the new harddisk and reestablish the mirror.

1.- install a 3rd hdm (9gb)
2.- backup all files from c: and restore them into d: (the new HDD)
3.- Modify boot.ini in order to make the server boot from the new drive
4.- If 3 sucsssfull, break the mirror, remove the 2 hd 4 gb and boot again to verify correct working.
5.- Install second 9hd, and setup a mirror again

Hope it helps!
