Array Configuration
I was having the following Array Configuration:
Array A: Disk 0 & Disk 3 (RAID 1)
Each disk capacity was 18 GB
This array contained Drive C:\
Array B: Disk 1 & Disk 2 (RAID 1)
Each disk capacity was 18 GB
This array contained Drive D:\ and E:\
I have replaced the all the HD from 18GB to 72 GB one by one as following:
Shutdown the system
Replace Disk 3 on Array A and recover the data from start-up menu by pressing F1.
Shutdown the system
Replace Disk 0 on Array A and recover the data from start-up menu by pressing F1.
Shutdown the system
Replace Disk 2 on Array B and recover the data from start-up menu by pressing F1.
Shutdown the system
Replace Disk 4 on Array B and recover the data from start-up menu by pressing F1.
All the process is going fine and HD and arrays are working 100% but still the Volumes has the same old size , Example still Drive C:\ is 18 GB.
(There is 50GB unallocated)
I want to know if there is any procedure to increase Drive C:\ capacity to the new HD size which is 72GB.
Please check attached JPG file for more screen shots and details.
System Configuration:
OS: MS Windows 2000 Server, Service Pack 4.
Intel P III
Smart Array 5i controller , embedded slot.

Storage
Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
