What Is an Extended Yolume

You can increase the size of an existing simple volume by extending the

volume onto unallocated space on the same disk or a different disk. To extend a

simple volume, the volume must be unformatted or formatted with the version

of NTFS that is used in Windows 2000 or the Windows Server 2003

family of

operating systems.

To make additional space available without reconfiguring your hard disks, you

can add space to an existing volume on your hard disk.

Exceptions include any

volume that contains a system partition, the boot partition, or

an active paging

file.

Your organization has increased the number of products it sells and needs

additional hard disk space on the D drive to storę their new marketing

brochures. The current disk space that is used for marketing brochures is 2 GB.

The marketing manager predicts that the D drive will run out of space in six

months. You look at the D drive in your server and find that the D drive can be

extended to include up to 6 GB of unallocated space.
