I am administrating NT 4.0 servers. On a particular server I am just about out of disk space. So, I added a 18.2Gig drive to my Compaq server and used the Array Configuration Utility to add the drive to an existing Raid 5 Array. After it finished Irebooted the server. Here's the problem:
Disk 1 is E:34728GB, the new drive shows 17364GB. I want to add this to the E: without creating a new drive letter!! How can I go about adding this free space to the existing drive?

Hello there,

You can use the 'Compaq Array Configuration Utility' to extend the existing array. The utility is accessibly on reboot and there is an NT utility by the same name that would do the trick. The boot version one is always accessible butif the NT version is not installed then look for it on the CDs that came with your server or on Compaq's website. One word of warning though, extending the array is a rather lengthy process so you'd better kick it up when your users are not using the server.

Hope this helps.

I've used the Compaq Array Configuration CD that came with the Compaq Server for extending disk arrays.
You could also uninstall existing softwares & reinstall them to other partitions.
Also you could move Pagefile.sys from C: to other drives.
You could also move Data / files from C: to other drives.
