Re: Vista won't let me extend a partition???
You can use the Diskpart.exe utility to manage disks, partitions, and volumes from a command-line interface. You can use Diskpart.exe on both Basic disks and Dynamic disks. If an NTFS volume resides on a hardware RAID 5 container that can add space to the container, you can extend the NTFS Volume with Diskpart.exe while the disk remains a Basic disk. Use the extend command to incorporate unallocated space into an existing volume while preserving the data.for more information check here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325590 |
